[QUOTE="Doghunter23, post: 2409235, member: 91515"] I got a question for you speed freaks out there... I just got an old hand me down Ruger 77 with a heart 24 inch 14 twist 220 Swift 40deg AI. I am going to shoot a couple deer with it next year. I really need to shoot some more deer next year as they are overrunning my property here in MO. My family got 5 this year and now there's more than when we started. I think this old rifle might make things fun. I want to try out a Hammer bullet, but which one would be best given 200 yards as max range? Maybe a starting load and powder recommendation once I have the fireformed brass (I have plenty of Varget and 52gr SMK for the task). I have AR-comp, N140, Varget, and H380 on hand. Do I need to stick to the 33gr hammers or run something a little beefier? I know the oddball deer can be pretty tough. I keep hearing speed kills, and like any hillbilly scientist I wish to test this hypothesis! :) [/QUOTE]
