Tad, I was in an email back-and-forth with an Australian about the Federal Premium High Energy rounds for the '06. Federal claims 3,150 ft/sec with the Sierra 165-grain HPBT and a 26" barrel. The Aussie, using a 26" barrel, said that his chronograph agreed with Federal's claim.
I've only shot one coyote with that load. Maybe fifty yards. Blew out most of the chest, bones and all.
I've read reports that Hornady is a bit optimistic about their light magnum ammo, but that's hearsay. I've never tried it. However, I am a mild fan of the Federal, I guess, but I don't see much real need for it.
