[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 68970, member: 603"] I have not shot the bullet you mention so I cannot comment on the explosiveness. I would guess 3600fps for the velocity, depending on barrel length. If 500 is about all the farther you will be shooting then it is more your personal preference. What I can tell you is that from 200-300 yards almost any 55gr bullet out there will be explosive, believe it or not even the the sierra FMJ leaves big holes. That is the bullet I use the most since it shoots the best in my gun. Just for kicks I loaded some 40gr Ballistic Tip silver Tips to around 4800fps. (no pressure signs yet but any faster and they don't hold up) Probably not that good for my barrel but oh well. Suprizingly they did shoot a .5in group at 100. And turn gophers into flying bits of mush. [/QUOTE]
