MV? you get an impact velocity around 3200 fps you will figure it out, Kirby Allen ran the .257 120 gr at 3500 fps and they would not penetrate 1 jug at 500 yards.

at right is a 160 accubond that impacted a green maple block at 3520 fps, it retained 64% of its weight and expanded diameter was .62" and penetrated over 13".

up till a few years ago "big game" started with elk and went up, all deer size game were called light thin skinned medium game. when did it change?

did you let the one shot dry completely?

Hornady just came out with a .257 134 gr. ELDM, yes a match bullet, however my experience and experience of others over the last 4 years says they perform as well or better than the ELDX line on game. Also a 128 ELDX with a BC of .633.

my 22" AR 7.5 twist runs hornady 108 factory rounds 2723, not in your criteria but gives you an idea.

hodgdon calls for a max load of 40.5 gr C of H4350 with a 100 gr @2936 fps https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/

level the rifle on a bipod, affix the scope, with the rifle level, line the reticle up with a plumb line, I use a post in a tennis court fence that I checked for plumb with a level. then I run the verticle adjustment stop to stop and watch it crawl up and down the edge of the post. If it wanders...

standard reply is "Well, its better than Eagle"!

young ones are very much like rabbit, pretty good if get them tender.

have had elk, moose, caribou, bear, whitetail, coon, armadillo, bear, groundhog, wild turkey, rabbit and more. My favorite without a doubt......Squirrel

First use cornmeal, not as abrasive on the throat 2nd 11-12 gr unique charge case, tap it on the bench to level the powder fill with corn meal plug with a piece of paper towel...tight remove brake if you have one keep muzzle pointed down watch barrel heat cause it will get hot clean barrel...

Don't plan on it but it seems to always happen!

depends on bullet jump, my 6.5 gibbs gains 120 fps with .030 jump over .010.

Yep, at 65 I'm more particular about where I hunt and where I shoot game, don't drag them far anymore, and downhill is highly preferred!
