[QUOTE="ralphjunius, post: 1780079, member: 40280"] I developed a load with the 200g Nosler Partition using CFE223 slightly under Hodgdon max and chronographed it at 2598fps in a Stiller action with a 26" barrel, 10" twist. Hodgdon data shows 2500 something fps with a 24" barrel. Groups about 3/4" and less at 100yds. Harvested 7 large, old animals, largest being a mature old giraffe. With a load like this you have to make a good shot with the giraffe quartering away which I did. I recovered 4 bullets. The rear lead started to squeeze out like toothpaste from all recovered bullets, but did not separate. The front end was wiped away on all recovered bullets. Animals ran 10 to 50 yards. Shots were 50 to 150 yards. [/QUOTE]
