[QUOTE="jfloyd, post: 1809061, member: 73643"] I don’t hunt Africa but I do hunt deer and swage 30 cal Bullets. I have a 1:8 barrel for my Encore and shoot nothing but 220+ grain Bullets through it. I’m getting 2400 FPS with the 220 class Bullets and they do the job on deer. They expand, but there is no meat damage and they will penetrate. Similar to a cast Bullet. If you run the numbers on a 220 grain Bullet running 2400 FPS, it’s got some steam behind it. I need to swage up some high BC stuff and see how that does but for 200 yards and under, there’s not much I would hunt with that combo. J [/QUOTE]
