What that man said. I use 6gn of ICI Nobel Shotgun Powder No 78, very very close to Red Dot and AS30N. 960fps for 204 gn Cast HP and 1000fps for 180gn Cast FP. The HP bang-flopped a large old fallow stag at 37m, shoulder shot, no exit wound. Didn't kill him outright, he could still raise his head to look at me so a mercy shot required but he could not move. Very similar to using 300BLK at a fraction of the gear cost for me. I've bought some HDY Sub-X to try, have not get there yet. Confident with cast to 100m, very very quiet. Cough, cough...
