John, the 175 RN @2400fps is what I'm trying to replicate in the 30-06. I'm trying to find out which heavier bullet might open up at slower speeds, yet might not bloodshot as much as the 165s. Even at slower speeds the 170s open to violently. Captdavid


"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
