The local deer are small. The boy who will be hunting with it is about 80 pounds soaking wet. The carbine is a light weapon, and so I'm keeping the bullets light to limit recoil. The light bullets require no elevation adjustment at any range at which my son is likely to take a shot at a deer. The ammo is available at Wal-Mart.
So yeah, there are good reasons to use the load we've settled on. I predict that proper placement of a 125-grain .35-caliber JHP with a velocity on arrival of, say, 1600 fps ought to produce a good result.
