[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1497179, member: 64108"] I'm pretty sure you could get close with Reloder 26 as I saw guys get a 140 grain over 2,900 fps, but I would use the Hammer Hunter instead for a couple reasons. I used the 127LRX a little over 3,000 fps for years taking over 20 animals from pigs to elk but never recovered a single bullet and never had a blood trail, just a pencil exit. The animals were hit in the vitals and died but I never had more than a couple drops of blood. Very accurate bullets but didn't do what I wanted. The Hammer is a softer copper, expands better, has less bearing surface so you should get more velocity, and they are not sensitive to seating depth as are the Barnes.
