This bullet might work alot better around 2300fps but i wont be finding that out, that's for sure. After using these i took a Buck in PA with a T/C Shockwave with plenty of blood and about a 30yard run at most until dying.
I would have suggested just the opposite direction in the velocity chase... I would have back them down to 18/1900 so they would have time to expand before they exited... especially in whitetail.... now a thick skinned elk or maybe even a tough hog the greater velocity would work just fine. I think we often overshoot a lot of bullets...
