Subject: Most favourable powder for 150g "Hunting Load"?
Posted: December 21 2015 at 1:40pm
I just notice you were look for powder ideas, I use 33 grains of H-335 with 185 grain gas check cast bullet, and 37.5 grains of IMR-4895 with 205 grain gas check cast bullet. My concern is to run with a velocity around 2000 fps. At that velocity that 205 grain bullet, delivers a muzzle energy of about 1700 ft-lbs, I've found that is more than enough to take down a whitetail, with a well placed shoot in its boiler room.
