[QUOTE="dogsled, post: 5248721, member: 22589"] I have permission to hunt a small plot that is incredibly thick, 40 yards is a long shot. I have taken a couple of deer in there, neither of which ran over about 40 yards, but even so, they had to be tracked, as they basically disappear into the brush. My 35 Remington does not leave the best blood trail with the 200 gr core-loks, so I want to switch to a different bullet. I have some 180 gr XTP HP's so I am thinking of trying them. I found this flyer in the box so want to keep the velocity below 1750 fps. [ATTACH type="full" alt="xtp_velocities.jpg"]121746[/ATTACH] According to Lee modern reloading one should be able to reduce IMR 4064 maximum loads by up to 50% safely for CAST bullets. Same manual gives max load data for 35 Rem, IMR4064, 150 gr jacketed 43gr, 2390 FPS, 200 gr jacketed, 39.5 gr, 2080 FPS interpolating for 180 gr jacketed on the above data gives 180 gr jacketed, 40.9 gr, 2204 FPS interpolating the velocity data shows a 49.2 FPS drop in velocity per grain, so an approximate velocity of 1750 FPS with the 180 grain XTP would equate to 31.6 grains of 4064. Hodgdon online gives IMR4064 data for the 200 grain FTX bullet, 34.1 grs, 1741 FPS with a max of 36.3 at 1861 FPS. The 31.6 grains seems to be a reasonable estimate. [/QUOTE]
