    I am one of there biggest advocates, I didn't mention it here because 400 odd yards is past where I have used it and they really like impact speed to deliver shock.

    350 is as far as I have used it on reds and I was running them just shy of 3200fps, have you used them further and will they still deliver enough shock to drop them on the spot with a lung shot?
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.
