Actually, TD, none of what you mentioned is particularly appropriate.

The WW lead hollowpoints are probably swaged lead, and very soft.

The 125s are simply not deer bullets.

None of the powders you mention are good with heavy loads.

Frankly, I'd recommend that your friend buy some good factory 158-grain or heavier jacketed softpoints - NOT hollowpoints.

For what you'd spend getting and testing the right components, he'd be better off with factory stuff.
