[QUOTE="41mag, post: 169025, member: 3804"] Jon, Your absolutely correct and sort of to sum up what I am hoping for is that I might be able to get them up to, or even a slightly higher velocity than the 125's are, and still not bother him much with the recoil. It is sort of a toss up I am aware, and the only true way yo know is to get some down range. My reason for choosing this bullet in particular is that the driving bands shouldn't create as much drag as a solid bullet, and being coated I understand that they will have to have more powder. I am hopeful that they will also shoot up to his potential. Nyles, He is shooting a Ruger Compact in .308 which weighs 6.5lbs with a loaded magazine. The short stock and the added eye relief of the 1.5 - 6 scope seem to be made for him. Yea I thought about the lighter bullets as well but would rather go heavier than lighter, especially for the hogs. I have the 125gr -X on hand but they just didn't shoot very well with this load. Glad you got the package, hope it serves you well. I will try to get the rest headed your way ASAP. [/QUOTE]
