[QUOTE="vonb, post: 3894803, member: 2877"] The 37.0 gr of IMR 4064 I mentioned in my first post is pushing them 2950 fps out of a 24" barrel. Here's the interesting part. The 410 yard shot was a complete pass-through on the shoulder. I figured it to be running around 1800-1900 fps when it connected. The 280 and 350 yard were behind the shoulder and did not pass through. I wish I had looked for the slugs but did not. I bought some 95 grain Nosler BTs to replace the 85 gr GameKings but am second guessing that thought now. The BC on the 85s are not that great but you could have fooled me. [/QUOTE]
