[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1002908, member: 54383"] So I posted in a different section but think I didn't say it right so here goes. what are your thoughts on non lead, long light high velocity vs lead heavy weights. Here is my example. 6x45 caliber. I currently shoot the heavy 95 gr bullets around 2500fps. (still building loads but this works well). Now after doing some looking CEB makes a 55 gr raptor that will work with my twist rate that is about the same length as the 95gr I shoot. This is a bolt gun so I'm not limited to mag length like an ar. So what are your thoughts, would a lighter faster bullet with this design work as well on deer as the 95. My range will be limited to the right conditions and probably not over 300 yards. When comparing there 338 bullets that are also lighter for the same length they claim more energy because of the speed. I believe I could push these at around 3200fps. Thanks for your time [/QUOTE]
