8mm mag-220 gr. Woodleigh or Hawk?

Have realized that I will not find any Hornady 220's, therefore am considering the Woodleigh or Hawk in 8mm 220 gr. Anybody tried these ? If so, at what velocities can I expect it to shoot in my 8mm mag? Was getting 2800fps with the Hornady. Thanks for any help-Karl

hoene,

Please find and read the recent topic here on Hawk bullets. It's a safety concern.

Ray Atkinson likes the Woodleigh bullets by the way.

You may want to try Sierra's 220 grain GameKing in the 8mm Mag.
