[QUOTE="liltank, post: 396572, member: 13275"] Between the 150 SST (BC.525) and the 150 Berger VLD (BC.531) is that this little cartridge can push them very hard. With these BC's it is a legit 1000yrd rifle for hogs and small deer as per the prescribed description of hunting. Looking at some loads on Reloadersnest.com, 3145fps is the high. I imagine with some good hand loading that you will be able to push it a little harder if you want. Pushing a .531 BC bullet at 3145fps according to jbm calculations results in 24.5 MOA up, 1614fps and 868 fps. That is more velocity and energy than a 44 Magnum pistol at point blank range (300grn Hornady XTP bullet). The velocity is sufficient to open the bullet upon impact on something as hard as a hog without issue and still will cause the bullet to function on small deer. I would imagine a Dingo would hate it also ;)!!!!! The 270 WSM is proving with its velocity and bullet functioning the way they do that you don't need an uber magnum to get it done for deer size game or smaller. Tank [/QUOTE]
