[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2212947, member: 36999"] I’ve previously loaded some 550gr bullets along with some of the 300gr Lehigh defense bullets but never got to take any game with them. The 550gr however are not much fun to shoot with a steel butt plate so recently I’ve been loading the 405gr with trail boss as a fun plinking load but at 1100 fps I think it would be too slow to penetrate deep enough. For the Hammers I was debating the 402 vs the 447 as I thought they would give better penetration due to the higher S.D. and I was concerned the 300 might give up too much velocity if I have to reach out to 200 yards.
