[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2369069, member: 1951"] Right now I’m shooting 180’s at 3050fps. So performance is about 300 WM level, I guess. I’d like to try Hammers. I’d like them to expand when I hit an animal. This is a walking hunting rifle…10.5lbs, 10 twist #3 Brux. I’ll be hunting deer and elk with this rifle…..mostly deer. I’m probably looking mostly 400-600 yards, but would like the load capable of 1000yds as I grow. I’d be willing to go to a smaller bullet weight, but I guess I worry that raising velocity over 3100fps could eat up some barrel life, right? Everything is running 55ksi to 65ksi, so it has to be the velocities killing the throat in magnums, right. I’m torn between the 166 and 174 hammer hunters….or something else? [/QUOTE]
