I've got a 180 gr rf that I got off a group buy here many moons ago. It works great in my Henry Lever action. I run into problems with this boolit in my GP100. When seated to the crimp groove its hard to chamber in the Gp100. The boolit hits the throat of the cylinder. I know that I could seat the boolit past the crimp groove or slightly shorten the case but I was thinking of going another way. I also have the Lyman Keith style 173 gr hollow point mold. I am currently using 11 gr 2400 and it works well. I haven't chrono'd it yet but I think its moving about 1000-1100 fps out of the 6 inch barrel. Two things, do you think that this is fast enough and will the HP boolit penetrate our Oklahoma deer (not big) on broad side shots. I prefer two holes. I don't know how fast I can push this plain based boolit before it starts to lead. Anybody using this?
