Hi guys...
At what speed does the 130gr .277 SST reliably expand on game?

I'm loading it in a 6.8 spc and the muzzle veloicity is only 2300-2400 fps.

My limit on game shots are 250yds or less, the bullet should still be traveling 1900fps +/-

Will it still work?



As an experiment... I removed red polimer tip on a few of my reloads to get more clearence in the magazine of my AR-15, will that dramatically decrease the expansion?
 
Call Hornady - they will tell you the expansion speeds for any bullet they make. I would expect that removing the polymer tip would reduce expansion.
