[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 625192, member: 10832"] Most of today's popular hunting bullets need 1800 fps to expand. I would argue that in reality that is on the low end for many of them. This would include Berger, AB, Barnes, Swifts. Some nosler BT's in certain calibers will expand below this but some others don't expand consistently. My point is that you need to be careful when choosing a lower powered cartridge because little things like bullet selection can make a big mess if one isn't careful. My personal favorite LR hunting bullet on mule deer and smaller animals is the Hornday A-max, in large part because you get good expansion way below the 1800 fps range which allows me to extend my distances with mild recoiling carry weight rifles.
