Hornaday Reduced Recoil 30-06

[C-Money]

HawkCreek, the 125 SST filled a few tags for my son, but you are right. Looking back, I was not overly impressed with on game performance. The SST did not hold together. Hornaday would be better off loading a 125gr Interlock in a reduced recoil load. One of his bucks we had decent penetration, decent at best. He used full power, hand loaded, 150gr interlocks last year on a dandy buck.

I've used Hornady reduce recoil and a european brand not available here.  My daughter shoots a Sporter Springfield 03-A3 and it absolutely stacks the reduced recoil rounds. 

She's taken three black tail at distances 80 to 200 yards without fail.  Never had anything walk away from a well-placed shot, or any shot for that matter.  She has also tagged coyote at 100 plus dropping them in their tracks.

I wouldn't be afraid to shoot it on any Washington game animal.
