[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1670421, member: 109862"] 2800 would be on par with what factory ammo ACTUALLY chronos at, regardless of what the box says, in my experience. So long as the deer can't see them coming and move out of the way, should be good to go! This reminds me of something one of my great great uncles, Henry, is purported to have said - I have no memories of the man but everyone who knew him had tons, an expert story and joke teller, full of BS but not trying to convince you it was anything else, expressionless, dry, slow to reply, which made it all the funnier. He was in fact a very good shot and had to be to feel himself and his family when times were much harder. he had an old military surplus 8mm mauser, which if you dont know is not a hot rod to begin with and in all non-european loadings is downloaded to a power lever barely above the .30-30. He made a particularly far shot on a deer (in the days when such shots were anything but routine - or approved of) and was asked how he did that. With a straight face he answered that his hunting method was to take the shot, then carefully put the gun down, light up a cigarette, take a few big drags and relax for a moment, then pick up the gun and watch the impact in the scope (his was one of the few rifles around here to wear one in those days). Apparently there were some who didn't realize he was joking...some people... anyways, that's not gonna happen with 150s at 2800. And smoking is bad for you. [/QUOTE]
