Thank you for the food for thought...
Der Ami-- 100 yards. would be a self imposed maximum after being comfortable at 50-75. So even if it is dead on at 100.... I am going to be unhappy with a foot or more high trajectory at 25 or 50 yards.
25-35 Win: I am loading 117 gr bullets while I suspect 1905 loadings were probably 86 grain. I believe I am loading very light. Sub 2000 fps for sure.

I am not a guy that believes you need a .300 win mag to kill deer, but I consider a sub 100 gr 25 caliber bullet smaller than I am comfortable with--- however if that magically corrected my issues I would consider improvement in point of aim far more comforting? Any opinions on 86 grain slow moving bullet on 120 lbs whitetail at 35-75 yards?
Any real reason to believe a lighter bullet would impact considerably lower?
