Velocity test on the new load hit 1200fps ... a max charge of Unique for 175 grain lead yielding 560ft/lbs. I think at 40 yards max this will be my load assuming accuracy testing goes ok.

3 years ago I shot a 150 lb cull buck hunting with a friend of mine. The shot was broadside at roughly 25-30 yards and the bullet impacted centerline right into the shoulders. This was a factory loaded Hornady 180 XTP. The bullet did not pass through, but broke the shoulder and did some impressive internal damage.

I'm thinking this new lead load will break both shoulders and pass through?

Thanks all,
