[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1259029, member: 85987"] I used the 60hp with for awhile when it did exit it was messy. Frontal shots were great dogs usually didn't twitch after the shot. Tried the 70 blitzking at 34-3500 same thing. The 75vmax made bigger holes and the 87 vmax @3320 seems to come out no matter where I shoot them. The 55-65gn bullets really fast can be very good until they are not:D. The plus is you get no runners with lethal shots. In my case I want them dead first if I get a pelt great but the farmers don't care. The good news is you can really push them hard enough to not exit most of the time. 3800-4000 is achievable for the 55-60 and 3600 for the 70's can be had accuracy for me there has been elusive so far. However at 3450ish I have only about an inch and a half difference from 1 to 200 yds. I shoot the 87's over the ponds and lakes because of the wind and will shoot the 70-75's in the smaller fields You can also load 55- 70's down to 23-2500 with 17-22 gns of blue dot or fiddle with other shotgun powders. I shot alot of crows this way Clays or red dot with 17 grns is another. It will sound like a 22 rimfire and should be for close calling type shots [/QUOTE]
