I've talked to some people that say the targets are better on tough game because they have a thicker jacket and can penetrate a little deeper before exploding. Has anyone tested this or found this to be true? Thanks
The 180 Hybrid is the most effective Elk bullet I think I've ever seen.
You should hit 2,850' easily with N560 or N565. I'm guessing in that shorty N560 will be the better of the two. I load 6 of the 7 SAUMS currently and I've found these two powders to be Golden! If they don't work I'd try RL26. It's a great powder also in it, but I'm 95% sure the first two will be the ones.I'll be happy with 2800-2850fps. Sounds like I can get that with a 20".
You should pressure out around 65 grains or so. It will be about 75' slower than the other two. Do yourself a favor and find the two powders I mentioned. They really are the ducks nuts for that cartridge.All I have is H1000 and 4831SC. I'll have to make those work.
