[QUOTE="ralphjunius, post: 2297800, member: 40280"] Its hard to get over 2600fps out of an 06 with a 200g bullet. Normal 200g loads out of a .308 Win generally max out at about 2400fps. But SFE223 is a freakish high velocity powder in a 308, though it is temperature sensitive. So it oughta work just fine in my 26" .308 Win. at 2600fps. Frankly, I like shoulder shots on deer with Barnes bullets that penetrate both shoulders, both lungs and clip the heart. The animals drop instantly. I get a humane kill and no tracking. The Barnes bullets destroy very little meat. Should I expect similar penetration and performance from the heavy 200g Sierras? [/QUOTE]
