[QUOTE="300spanker, post: 500479, member: 12221"] Here is some additional results of the GS 177. 104 grains of h1000 is giving me 3650fps in a 28 inch barrel. sounds way over max, but the bearing surface as you may know is ultra short plus those drive bands?? i am concerned about long range performance and expansion of this bullet. another great bullet we are having success with is the 180 gr. JLK long boattail version. 3450 fps, 99 grains of retumbo. we have shot lots of deer and antelope over the past two years with the jlk. performance has been flawless at all distance 117-809 yards. i was shooting the 210, but at 3450 velocity i save 20 inches or so at 1000 yards, so i switched to the 180 lbt. I also tried the new barnes long range in the 175 and the 200 grain versions, no bueno por me! i want to try the hornady 225. do we know if they will offer an amax verion of the 225, spoke to a guy named doug in technical at hornady and he said the 208amax is still the old jacket not the amp. that didn't sound right. also have we heard anything about the 230 grain berger in the future, what about the 338 berger hunting bullet?? my snipetac will be done in july.gun) [/QUOTE]
