Ok, having to make the swap this year to a crossbow - shoulder issues. I have not hunted with a crossbow in a long time and they have come a long way since that time.
Pull will be 150 lbs. 380ish ft/sec. Should I go with a 100 gr or 125 gr. What are decent options in either?
It is what it is.

A 3in 125grn vortex is what I'd shoot, it should fly like a laser beam an with them extra crossbow ugga duggas...it will make a dang bloody mess..I shotem for years out of my compound...and as soon as I run out of all these free slick tricks I got...I'll start shooting them again...executioner is another head...same concept as the vortex but little heavier gauge aluminum..stupid sharp..just a little harder to tune...either of those heads will spell destruction for what's in front of them....big..wide profile heads...just nasty on critters.

I'm running 150grn swhackers and 150 grn boltcutters out of a 355 excalibur I shoot swhackers out of my compound. How do those 150 swhackers do in the crossbow?

G5 Deadmeat 100 grain; very accurate and punch through is excellent out of my Parker Thunderhawk. Broadside shot on doe at 30 yards; she looked up and walked 20 steps and off to sleep. Never knew what hit her. Purchased in Cullman at Vann’s https://youtu.be/EGGre7vuvv0
