[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 8095, member: 8947"] These bullets will work well at longer ranges and reduced impact vel. 165/180gr Hornady SST/Amax; Nosler Ballistic tips; Matchkings up to 190gr ( the heavier bullets may not stabilize in the 12 twist). The scirrocos are a nice bullet but too tough for LR work. Conventional bullets will act like premium bullets when impact vel drop below 2500fps. My mule deer's lungs were vaporized at 330yds with a broadside hit with the 165gr SST from my Gibbs (muzzle vel 2950fps). Exit hole was about 2". A tough bullet would have probably just punched through as you have noted. This combo knocked the deer of its feet. Jerry [/QUOTE]
