Is there anyone out there with knowledge of this bullet's terminal performance on game? I'm hoping to use this bullet in my new rifle build. Crossing my fingers for an accuracy node around 3450'. Should have plenty of thump for deer as far as I plan to shoot.
Any information would be wonderful.
 
I'll throw out a guess. Maybe a 6-284. My 22-284 shoots 80 gr bergers at 3600 fps.
 
Had a sporter 6mm-284 with a 24" barrel.
95 gr berger Classic hybrid hunter with 54 gr of RL-17 yielded 3433 fps.

Had a 1 in 7.5 twist 6mm-284 with a 30" barrel. Top velocity with 105 Berger was 3484 fps using RL-33


Wondering what cartridge could get a velocity of 3450 fps with a 115 and a 23" barrel? 6mm/7 SAUM or maybe a 6mm/300 WSM?
