Greetings, Looking for a hunting load for deer/hogs? Thinking of using the 180 XTP or a 200 grain bullet (undecided which one). Needed a powder suggestion thinking maybe Longshot? Any suggestions or am I heading in the right direction. Thanks Esox357. | ||

AA #9 or VV N350 will get you to 1300fps with (book) max loads with the 180 gr.. Use a 22# spring (if you haven't already). Some people go above book max loads. I would suggest you find the most accurate. Peter Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

I have pushed Longshot and AA#9 as hard as they will go in 10mm 200 gr and they are not as good for power as 800X. 800X is a pain to meter, and you might end up weighing every charge. | |||

Esox, I took a buck recently with a 200gr XTP and 11.2 gr of 2400. Thats just a plain-jane load but it did a great job on the deer. BP | |||
