[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 3349662, member: 1546"] Plenty of reading here about bullet performance at different velocities. Possibly more than you want to read. [URL]https://68forums.com/forums/showthread.php?33178-6-8-SPC-Bullet-Performance[/URL] A new thread about factory hunting rounds and different characteristics of each. [URL]https://68forums.com/forums/showthread.php?133801-Factory-ammo-for-hunting[/URL] Link to links for different bullet reviews. [URL]https://68forums.com/forums/showthread.php?26992-6-8-SPC-Bullet-Reviews[/URL] Shortened version of all of the reading above for factory hunting ammo: Federal Fusion 115 grain soft point.
