I have never hunted with any 220s. But I have burned up a couple hundred 30 cal 220 gr SMK, just dinking around. I did not have a chronograph then, 1980. So I do not know what kind of velocity I got with H4831.

I know the recoil was quite a bit softer when the case was stuffed with as much H870 as I could get in it, and I had to pour unburned powder out of the action and barrel.

For any serious use, I much prefer the Hornady 190 btsp which is not difficult to push to 2800 fps in the 30-06.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
