Did they send you load data? If you are talking to me, yes they sent me load data via email with 2 powder choices. Both were below 2,500 fps.

I looked at the bc of the Hornady FTX. It didn’t look all that impressive. Maybe 200 yards doesn’t require high bc. But there certainly are higher bc bullets out there.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

JMHO- they were killing animals out 200 yards and more with good-for-nothing flat and round nose bullets way before I was ever a gleam in my daddy's eye I don't even have a clue as to the animals I've rendered with old storebought 30/30 ammo before I started loading, and don't know afterwards. Buddy's dad killed several limits with a regular scoped Marlin and plain ammo out past 150-175 just short of 200 the times I was with them. All the animals I've popped with my 444s have died with regular flat nose projectiles
Disable the pumphouse and you'll be filling freezer bags
Like Arnold said, " If it bleeds, we can kill it. . "

Like Arnold said, " If it bleeds, we can kill it. . " There’s a lot of things that aren’t needed in life. Gives me something enjoyable to do during the off season.
