90 grains was this years doe. last year i used 150 grains with a 295 grain and 120 grains with the 245gn hollow point.
This year i used the 90 grains pyrodex rs with the 385 great plains bullets. But thanks for figuring out my FPS, Thats very interesting. Im not a big fan of the GP bullets due to them limiting my range. I think im going to break down and add a new buddy to my other winchester, cabelas really has a deal on the SS/camo Winchester apex. Just not sure yet.
Jon,
You can't use them during ML season, but you might consider trying some 375 SSB or 435 SSB in your winchester. The 375's are doing well for me and are as easy to load in my Sidekick as a powerbelt is. They have great sectional density and very good aerodynamic properties, meaning, they carry more thump down range would penetrate better than a PB of equal weight. It would surprise me if you could not extend your range with them. They are about 50 cents each and so are a little cheaper thanPB's. If they shoot well in your rifle, you are bound to fall in love with em.
