I have limited experience hunting deer and want to work up a load for my No. 1. Hornady is the most common brand around here. I had a nice load with the 265 gr. SP, but they've been discontinued. I'm considering the 225 gr. FTX, the 240 gr. HP-XTP, and the 300 gr. HP-XTP. This load would be for the No. 1 ONLY.
Do you have to trim cases to 1.225" to shoot the 225 gr. FTX in a No. 1?
I'm using a 1-4x scope and a maximum range of 125 yards.
A 150 lb. buck will be the biggest critter I expect.
Thanks.
