That's good out of a 23� barrel. I'm getting 3200 fps out of my .270 Weatherby with a max load of Viht N560.

I use Horn. SPs in my 6.5 x 55 Maus. The 140 grain. I launch these at 2630 fps. Get great accuracy and really good performance on deer. They have expanded well on the four deer I've killed with this bullet.
Everything I say to you is a lie , and that is the truth.

IME, the Hornady SP 165 gr work very well from a .308 Win and a .30-06 at moderate speeds.

Scar22 - were all those from the same box of ammo??? I load 140 grain Hornadys' in my 270 Win and have nice exit wounds- about the size of a quarter. My loads are very middle of the road speed wise. I am finding that as far as velocity goes, for my hunting situations, less is more.

I like the 150 gr. Hornady spire points for everything here in Texas. I have found them to be excellent killers of hogs, deer and elk. I am however the finest rifle shot in North America. They expand and exit in a proper fashion along with being very accurate. I push them to a bit more than 2800 from my 270. I agree that if you did not recover the animal then you can't tell where you hit the deer if you hit it at all.

These bullets shot .5 inch out of my gun Are you doing the shooting????? I know some fellows who have rifles that a capable of .5" groups but they can't hit the side of a barn because of flinching......ymmv I've killed about 20 critters with em out of a 25-284....one deer went 25 yds....the rest of the critters were DRT....within a step.....

Not cole k, but I use 57Gr of IMR4350 behind my 165 Gr Hornadys. They worked very well on whitetails.
