150.165 gr

Hi
thanks for replies. i have tried 125 gr and 135 gr sierra in front of 32,5-33 grain norma 202 and it gives 2400 fps in my savage 24 and 100-150 fps less in my savage 340 accuraccy is excellend in both guns. i have tried 150 grain hornady spbt,but i couldn't get enough fps just around 2100 fps and it oppened barely at 40 yds !! I was curious about other brands like sierra 150 spbt or nosler sb-,in my 340 magasin length limits the cartridge length and force me to seat the bullet deeply, but in savage 24 i may could increase the catridge length and may be get some more fps, but 24 is not a strong action as 340 and i doubt about pushing the bullets too fast.
cheers
danny
