[QUOTE="adam, post: 338618, member: 9382"] I Just re-read your first post.. you should have no problem getting that velocity from that package. I would consider the 85 gr Barnes in a shorter barrel however.. for all practicable purposes we are looking at a 300yd max gun. The 85gr can achieve 3000 fps from barrels as short as 12" and will shoot much flatter across that distance. It will also be much easier to load really hot without pressure problems using the common chambers available, even if you ended up with a 1:10 Saami chamber. Drop and drift past 300 will definitely be more pronounced, however at that distance.... I'm hauling out a bigger smoke pole. Its still capable of deep penetration with excellent wound cavity. Many many tough hogs to 400lbs have been with that bullet. That said, nothing wrong with your choice... it will drop them like a hammer to the forehead. [/QUOTE]
