Looks like what I have been seeing with the 250 FTX and a 10/50 4759/4198 duplex in my McRem...

My intent was this was going be be another SML for ME .... he waited till i got it dialed in out to 200 . It rocked me hard with 56 and 275 BE so i tamed her down somewhat more manageable and still very accurate for the old guy ....... guess what i just cant seem to get near the gun again ...... so if he wants he can go back to the 275 but when they drop and flop he really doesn't care i guess.

speedrackin,
Thanks for the update, I have a whole box of 250 FTX that I was going to try, I might have to think about that one?
Congratulations to your son on the deer.
Happy Holidays Guys !!!

  Bullet placement is everything and if u know how your bullet is built and preforms your one step ahead ....heres a pic I found on line of Hornadys this could help in bullet selection . |

After viewing the internals of those bullets what I have seen in actual deer shooting makes sense. I thought the 225s were a bit fragile but they are very accurate.
