[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1233443, member: 86754"] I get a tad over 3000fps with the Barnes 160TTSX and 52gr of TAC ( use at your own discretion and risk, of course) It takes a drop tube and I then crimp it with a LEE FCD. I get .75" groupings from a 22" Ruger Hawkeye SS. Now, that is definitely "7mm mag" territory, but with a fatter bullet and mono construction. I have never taken a moose, but I know many are shot with 160gr 7mm mags....just saying. I got 2750 with that bullet and the MR2000 powder, which Barnes tech told me would work on elk out to 400yds...I think its the cats meow, ha. [/QUOTE]
