[QUOTE="bomberodevil, post: 2207217, member: 23175"] Here’s a question for the +3000 FPS folks. I’ve always believed that the 3000 line is about where shorter barrel life begins, and a heavy for cartridge bullet in the 2800-2900 FPS range is the ticket for deer/antelope class. My 6.5 CM with 140gr hand loads are 2790 FPS, my 30.06 180gn is 2700 FPS, and my .270 win with 140gn bullets are 2865 FPS. All of the bullets are either Nosler BT or AccuBond, depending on the critter. I know this thread was started by Hammer Bullets, but what are the benefits in hunting of going with a lighter projectile and higher speeds? [/QUOTE]
