How did the 135 grn classic perform? I see a dead deer but where did it hit and what effect? I've started some load development with them and so far pretty good accuracy just working on seating depth now. I know the bc isn't as high as the 147 eld or berger vld's but they seem easier to load.

I’ve had my eye on that bullet to test out. Looks liked it worked out well for you. Congrats

I took a neck shot as not to ruin meat, didn't go through & decent expansion and did lose a few tiny pieces of copper. They load easy & did well on coyotes and my doe also, dropped in their tracks.

Big fan of neck shots. Nice, enjoy the fruits of your labor.
