its listed by Sierra as a varmint bullet, but it does better on deer than Sierra thinks, is what I am guessing...


What velocity are you getting with your load?


2750 to 2800 Range IIRC and depending upon barrel length...

I've got 243s from 20 inch to 26 inch barrels...


Essentially a 6x45 then.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
