Dave,
I have mixed feelings about the Sierra 130 gr sssp. It worked extremely well on one doe and not so well on another at approx the same range. Then on a corsican ram, it did the job, but expansion didn't seem that great. I used the factory round on a large Merino ram at it worked great, but no exit hole. Then this season I hit a doe with the factory round at about 80yds. We found some good blood and trailed for 200yds never finding the doe. The guide sitting there when I shot was watching with his binoc's and said the hit was perfect. So all that to say I am thinking about a heavier bullet for my 7-30 for next season. Not sure yet.
