I’ve had the best luck with 100 gr match kings and 90 absolute hammers. The match kings were amazing one shot drops. They never exited a pig or deer and would destroy a shoulder.

I've always preferred to take out a shoulder not matter what bullet. They either drop or they can't run far and it's harder for them to jump a fence.

I'm using it in a 243 with a 69 gr absolute hammer. 39.5 grains (above max) for 3200 in a 16" barrel. Not an ideal powder but I had it on hand.

https://caprockoutfitters.com/ Found the website. It's about 60 miles south of Lubbock, just north of Snyder.

Caprock outfitters. Look them up on fb. They do long range. I haven't hunted with them but I have shot with them.

I'm in Snyder, currently working on a private 800 yard range.

Snox it's a 26" 257 wby. Range was 60 yards. That's the exit.

Last doe i shot was at 60 yards. .257 absolute impacted at 3700 and exited. Caused major tissue damage and exited.

I got bored today and tried a little test on the 90 absolute. I lined up two five gallon foam buckets ( thick plastic). Shot was from 30 yards. I have to say I'm impressed. Nosler bt and sierra mk have never made it to the second bucket. The absolute dented the back of the second bucket and...

I plan on it.

Almost forgot. If everything goes right, I should get a chance to test them on some pigs Friday.

I played with the 90 gr absolutes today in the 257 wby. Using imr4350 in hornady brass. Oal was 3.28. 26 in. Douglas barrel savage action. 65 gr 3790 65.5 error 66 3865 66.5 3904 slight ejector mark. I'll load some more Saturday for accuracy testing, probably around 66 gr. With weatherby brass...

I'm going to try to get it clean tomorrow and see how that goes.

I've honestly lost count on the rounds. Ive had it for almost 15 years. This is a 225 eldm oal is at 3.707.

I was attempting to find the lands for a new load. Accuracy went bad with the old one and of course you can't get the 208 amax (300 win mag, lost count on rounds) anymore. Long story short it appears that my barrel maybe toast. Am I looking at this correct. No land marks, just a solid circle.
