[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 992148, member: 8833"] Not knowing what twist /lenght of your barrel is it is hard to compare. I will say that these bullets are being used out of a standard Savage LRH that we have done some minor tweeking to. Started out using H4831sc as well as some minor testing with RL22. We tried Retumbo on a whim and were pleasantly surprised and are pushing the 140 Hybrid in the mid 2950 fps. - we are at 3600' elevation. The Savage info says it has a 26" barrel - but that includes the factory supplied brake (Which in my opinion is not much of a brake). We have not taken anything at this point over 600 yds but the bullet performance out to that distance has been very satisfactory. Yes we have had good penetration/fragmentation very typical of Berger performance. With that said we also have not had a bad bullet placement on the animals taken so time will tell if a person was to place a bullet not exactly where you intended it to go. [/QUOTE]
