Yes, I do.

For the woods, and maybe the bottom two or three rounds in the open, under the Hot-Cor load.

This 2260 fps/MV load has the 320 gr. RN Weldcore's recommended impact velocity (2200-2000) bracketed at 25-100 yds, and hits the 1800 minimum impact velocity just past 200.

Perfect for the woods and close-in trouble.

And, w/ an SD of .341, slow and heavy is reassuringly effective in close.


Do you think 58 gn. of Varget will fit under a 320 gr. RN Weldcore?

Figgerin' 57-58 to make my numbers.

Thanks.
