No,I have no intention of using the 400 grain Speer for big game like deer or elk. I will use a 400 grain Swift A-Frame at 2600 fps for them. The Speer's are just plinking loads for varmints.

I do have 500 grain Hornady DGX,Nosler Partition and Swift A-Frame. I would like to see Nosler make a .458" 400-450 grain Partition.


A 400 grain Speer sure does a job on a jack rabbit. I am going to try and see if I can cut one in two with these Speer's.
