Meat hasn’t been very bloodshot in my experience. The blood on the entrance side of my deer and bear was just on the surface. Both animals I actually second guessed my recollection of the orientation of the animals when I shot because of the hemorrhaging on the entrance side. I usually expect to...

Shot a big mule deer the other night right at shooting light. Tikka suppressed 20” 8 twist 6.5 prc with the 125hht launched at 3150 with impact velocity at 125 yards of about 2960. Photos are of the buck, entrance, entrance, exit, exit. He only made it about 20 yards. Bullet crushed the lungs...

I didn’t open it up to investigate but it seemed like it was turned to soup inside. I had a very similar shot on a bear last year with the 181 hh which performed as advertised but this result with the hht is more impressive.

Black bear shot at 325 yards with a 182 HHT launched out of a 300 win mag at 3145 fps with impact around 2590 fps. Slight quartering away shot. Bullet entered behind the left shoulder and crushed the right shoulder. He made it about 10 yards and piled up. Photos: entrance, exit, petal.

Are there some lighter 30 cal HHT options in the works?

I’ve gotten to 54gr of h4350 with no pressure yet and 3144fps. Going to try 54.5 and 55 then planning to post the data.

I’ve been trimming to halfway between the saami trim to and max lengths. At least ADG brass seems to start short when new, so it took a few firings of trimming to the shortest case in the bunch before all of the cases were long enough to trim to the halfway mark.

Getting ready to start working with the 154 HHT in my 16" 1/9T 308. Thinking I'm gonna try 8208 XBR to start. Have Benchmark too but worried it might be a little fast. edit: although just looked back at a burn rate chart and noticed 3031 and benchmark are right in the same neighborhood.
