[QUOTE="jakesparents, post: 396343, member: 24884"] I am getting about 3075 out of the 26" barrel. I am using BR primers. The 215's might be a tad faster, but it did not seem to like them. According to Hornady, the 175 Amax is a very light construction to fragment almost like a Vmax. The 208 Amax is a heavier construction and won't open up as much. They said quite a few people are using the 178 on deer at longish ranges. He said inside 300 yrds it might blow up on the skin and get very little penetration, but beyond that they perform really well. Do you have a Savage barrel on that? What OAL are you at? How does it group? Thanks! Andy [/QUOTE]
