Yes! When my youngest started hunting I loaded that bullet with enough H4895 to get around 2700fps out of my 24” Rem. 700. The first time at the bench I started about 3gr. lower and told her it wasn’t much more than my 22mag. She shot it and gave me a look as if to say “hell yea”! I skipped to her hunting load and she put 3 into just under an inch! She killed two antelope does with that load (ranges were 94yds and 138yds). She only complained about the noise as we shoot under a metal roof at the range. That Sierra bullet passed thru both does and did plenty of damage! It’s a great bullet for starting youngsters off in bigger calibers! Not sure how it would perform if you hot rodded it but under 3000fps I wouldn’t worry one bit.
