[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2822441, member: 68015"] Ive taken a number of whitetails with the 185 Barnes before switching to the hammers. I tried the 186 shock hammer first and asked Hammer for a lighter bullet for deer and then they made the 175 HH. Never looked back. Awesome bullet, Win 748 shot the 186 SH .333 @ 2802 fps. With the 175 HH I tested TAC, 2520, Lvr, IMR-3031. Out of those, IMR-3031 shot the best with a group of 0", yes a perfect hole and an ES of 10. IMR-3031 pressured out at 57.5 gr and 3049 fps but best load was 56.5 gr. BTW, I had a 243 that shot 100 gr Hornady interlocks into the same hole also, it loved 35.5 gr of 3031. The 175 HH always gives me full penetration so never an issue there and it always drops the deer. I am preparing to test N-540 and N-530 as soon as I'm done planting. Some nice groups there papa, keep it up, its a very accurate cartridge as is its offspring, the 6.5 PRC. GTG to Charlotte area, have a great day [/QUOTE]
