[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 328625, member: 505"] I don't know what minimum velocity is for expansion. Run this data because this one expanded with a good exit hole after going through both lungs of an elk. 300 MK out of 338-378 wby, 3058 fps at muzzle, 10,000ft elevation, elk was almost 1200 yards. It was actually high 1180's, low 1190's but I rounded it to 1200. At least we would know that it does expand at this velocity. I am with you on the 177 grain GS bullet. I can push that bullet 3500 fps in both my 300 ultramags with 28" barrels. The ballistics on that are incredible and the bullet will hold together well at any velocity. It is about the best ballistics available in a factory rifle/bullet combo. I am probably going to use that combo quite a bit next year starting with the caribou hunt. [/QUOTE]
