RE: Federal Vital-Shok 85 gr BTHP
I wish Federal would go back to listing what bullet they were putting in their cartridges...If that's what I think it is then it's the 85gr Sierra GameKing HPBT...In that case, it's an excellent bullet for whitetails...I've killed at least 30 deer with it and a couple of buddies have killed another 25 or so...
It's my bean field bullet...Sight in 2 1/2 - 3 inches high at 100 yards and you'll be about 2 1/2 - 3 low at 300 yards...
Don't let the term hollow point scare you...This is a harder bullet than some soft points...The jacket is thicker and core harder...
