[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 58719, member: 10"] Ryan, Generally accuracy drops off when velocity is dropped much under where a specific cartridge is designed to run at. Other problems such as dirty powder burns because of the low pressure and velocity spread increases are also common. In my experience it is much better to go to a heavier stouter bullet to save on pelts. Using a solid is great for pelts but can cause some headaches tracking hit animals if they can get into cover. I have used the Hornady 55 and 60 gr SP bullets a great deal and they are a stour bullet for a conventionally built .224" bullet. They also are generally very accurate in the 3300 to 3400 fps level which is slightly reduced but still up in good working pressures. Give them a try and see how they work for you. Good Shooting!!!
