[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 2002988, member: 86754"] I've shot the 240 Woodleigh in several 30-06 rifles, very accurate. While I have not killed any game with it, it was easy to get 2400fps from a 24 inch barrel with IMR 4350 and the like. I will use one an a big hog someday. Big hogs are wonderful "bullet testers" to me! :) I also like the Hawk 190 FN ( .030" jacket) in the 30-30. I easily got 2200 in the standard 30-30/Marlin 336 and then almost 2400fps with it when Ackleyed. Again, the deer didn't co-operate. :) You figure the old Savage .303 used a 190 at 1900fps and killed all kinds of Northern big game. I still believe the old heavy soft nose still "hit them a lick", good thumpers. [/QUOTE]
