I've been using 175 Hornady in my 7x57 @2450fps for several years now. I use it on deer and hogs when I know my shots will be under 150yds or so. Which BTW, is about 90% of my hunting. It opens Well and at that speed doesn't destroy much meat. Heck, I've even loaded some in my 280, at the same speed, just to use it! capt david

"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!
