.577 2.75" NE project Hawk Bullets Vs. Other ones
#122086 - 24/12/08 07:44 AM

Hi,

My first .577 2.75" is nearing completion, and I have been using Hawk 650 grain FNSP for regulating.
These are the cheapest bullets I've been able to find, and I'm just wondering how they preform on game? Anybody use them for real on something nasty? They don't seem to expand much in dirt, so I'm not sure if they are any good on game. Woodleighs, Barnes and A-Square will regulate as well, but they are pricey when your just shooting targets.

Regulation load 116grains IMR4831, 1920 to 1950FPS for ~5500FPE. Equal to Kynock 2.75" loads.

Thus far the 10ga action is holding up fine, the Pac-Nor Match grade barrels couldn't be better and it's just too much fun to shoot. Wish I could actually afford to use it on a Jumbo. I'm sure it would be devastating on a grizzly as well.
