Yep it was my go to load with H4350 or Hunter when I needed to reach for a lead free load when trapped in California. It was amazingly effective when I started it at about 3375-3400fps and I have still never recovered one from even the biggest pigs. In various wet newspaper etc test it offered deeper penetration than a 150 partition.

It matched up nice with the 110 Vmax, ate the same powder loads and gave interchangeable points of impact to over 500 yards. Got ugly in the wind after that but was a lazer at reasonable distances. If I was not looking at longer shoots in ridiculous wind conditions out here I would still be running it.


Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
