Or you can load this bullet with 44.4gr of H4831, Remington brass, and CCI200 primer. It turns groundhogs and coyotes inside out. I've never shot a deer with it, though Sierra has this in their Game King line. It was one step down from max in the Sierra manual years ago and the first group went 5/8" out of my 700 ADL.


How fast is your load? The load I posted above it 2950 fps out of a 24" barrel.
