What could you possibly gain by using that small of bullet in this caliber besides increased velocity and a little shock. All other aspects of penetration and killing power will go to sh*t. You could expect a large entrance wound (superficial)and probably no exit wound,.I`m glad you asked before doing it because the outcome would almost certainly be negative. It may work ok once, maybe even twice with good placement, but then it might be "wholey crap! What have I done!" Those bullets were never intended for use on deer and the 130`s are in the same class. 150-180grn is a far better choice. If you want that kind of velocity move to a bigger case with the bigger bullets. Good question, now you know.
