[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 848103, member: 10"] I would agree, with that bullet weight you will be quite fast, I would recommend what shots your taking if your hunting heavier game such as elk. At close range, your penetration may not be all that impressive on hard impacts such as a shoulder knuckle. For deer and such it would be perfect but you may still see some very dramatic bullet expansion. If you want to get really high velocity and want to hunt heavy game at closer ranges, you may want to look at some of the Barnes TTSX bullets. THey will generally take any velocity you put to them and still get the job done on the terminal end. Not the best for long range hunting but neither is the 200 gr SST. Just a side recommendation.
