Title: 200gr FMJ ?
Post by: Ten Ten on April 06 2017 04:47:26 PM MDT
With Speer not making the 200gr TMJ's or Hornady, whats another good option for FMJ 200?

Im wanting a good 200gr FMJ trail gun/hunting bullet

Been wanting to try Speer's loading data with 14grs of A #9 behind one of these  ;D

and 10grs of blue dot...

hard cast is much better then FMJ. FMJ bullets are actually pretty soft under the copper jacket and the round nose profile also does a lot less damage then a flat nose profile.

for hunting deer id use either a 200gr XTP or a 200gr flat nose hard cast. for hunting things tougher then deer (hogs, elk, bear) id use a 220gr hard cast.
