[QUOTE="atl5029, post: 1229959, member: 84273"] I'd be totally happy with 2700 fps, even 2600-2650. I'm not trying for superior long range performance with this rig, just trying to throw a 225-250 grain bullet out to at least 500 yards or better with enough velocity to not have to worry about expansion when it gets there. I'm not sure if the Barnes would do that, but it seems these Hammers will, and as the thread is about, they won't destroy a ton of meat on a close up shot. I would hope that the drive band design of the Hammer would help get a little bit of velocity over other 250 grain bullets. Might end up going your way and rechambering to 358 Norma or 350 Rem Mag and load em long. But until then I'll give it a try with the Whelen. [/QUOTE]
