    Yeah really need something a bit softer as the range gets out with a short barrel (low velocity) i reckon. With my new 284 Superpig im using the 162 Amax at only 2600, still holds good energy out way further than i'll likely ever shoot it and it should expand, and it should still work up close going slower. Hopefully ideal from 6-600 yards
