[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 44281, member: 1459"] I have limited experience, but have it non the less: 25gn hornady HP with 22.5 varget--3800fps est. 125yds groundhog profile--shot behind shoulder--dropped where hit, no exit. 325yds - groundhog--hit with blood trail, but no body. they seem to really spike in pressure with the bullets in the lands--it shot so good that way though so i continued. every shot had cratered primers with fed 205's supposedly CCI's have harder or thicker primer cups and are less susceptable to this problem, but i have not tried anything else. FWIW, JB p.s.: 200yds is a chip shot--300yds the drop is similar to a 223, but after that it starts to drop like a stone. Eventually id like to try a 17 mach IV--that seems to be the perfect compromise for fouling and velocity. [/QUOTE]
