The Hornady 250gr. SP might be soft enough for low speeds with a pointed bullet. I've a feeling that the 250gr. RN, which gave us excellent results on moose from a 20" .356 Winchester, driven at 2,156fps,that that's the bullet I'd choose. Due to the lower speeds of the 9x57, I'd not worry about a pointed bullet. The RN's will work very easily to 200yards and I'd sight them in at 3" high at 100. That would give about a 160yard zero and maybe 3-4" low at 200. Just a guess - I'll check a chart and edit this if necesary.

See the next post for chart figures.
