[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1487102, member: 7999"] I set up the Ruger American P in 6 Creed this year for a light weight carry rifle. We have been hunting high country muleys in the wilderness this year on a special draw trophy tag and I did not want to carry my 14 lb long range rifle. I wanted to set up this rifle for 500y and in. I figure that if I am truly trophy hunting I need to be within 500y to get a good look at the animal. I could have run a heavier bullet but chose the 88g Hammer Hunter given the yardage that I was setting the rifle up for I opted for higher impact vel and flatter trajectory. With the 88g Hammer Hunter I am getting 3326fps. This will carry 1800fps to 800y at 3000' elev and still have 2300fps at 500y. With a 345y max point blank range zero I am good to 400y and maintain a 5" radius poi. 400y with no adjustment to the hold on a deer...pretty cool! I am enjoying carrying this little rifle so much that I am intending to use it on elk this year. Here is my load. Hornady brass, WLRM primer, 88g Hammer Hunter on 46g H4350. Loaded to mag length. Average vel of 3326fps with an sd of 5.9fps I started my load work up at 43g and a vel of 3080fps. As always work up to this as it is a max load. Steve [/QUOTE]
