Thanks for the reply. Does the Hornady factory load with their 286 grain bullet expand well on deer? The reason I ask is that they chronographed only about 2250 fps from my 23.6 inch Steyr Prohunter. I would use them at no more than about 200 yards. Tried them on my 260 yard steel deer target and they drop about a foot with a zero about two inches high at 100 yards. They don't shoot much flatter than my 35 Remington.
But there are plenty of places for me to hunt where I can't see over 200 yards and if they'll expand they ought to let the air out of deer and hogs pretty quick as well as leave a blood trail if anything gets out of sight.
