[QUOTE="AZ82New, post: 3090280, member: 120858"] I think you would land in a relatively similar place velocity wise. The charge weights max out at around 180 grain bullet weights. Meaning, your load manual is going to tell you about the same load of varget….or whatever powder you’re using…..for a 180, 190, 200, 208 etc. like within a grain or two they are listed exactly the same. I got one grain more of varget with a 190 Speer Impact and the velocity was 2,630 fps. Not really a lot of difference. Again, keep in mind I am over book max here. Not way over, but I am over. Hornady 178 ELDX factory ammo in my rifle was going 2,550 fps. I imagine the 2,600 fps range is where you would get a 180. I would actually consider a 165 class mono bullet. You’re going to get about 2,800 fps with a Hammer Bullet and it’s going to far out penetrate that A-Frame. [/QUOTE]
