151gr absolute hammer, lapua brass, Varget…3100-3250 depending on your tolerance for “safety”

This is in a factory tikka 22” I believe

I’m thinking about Hammer 124gr Hunter bullets over H4895 for a slightly reduced load in 308 win. Very similar to the circumstances you describe. 100-200yrds and in. I don’t reload much anymore but thinking I’ll try to get in the 2800ft/s ballpark.

Hammer 124s aren’t explosive. I have had some decent sized holes exiting but only on hard angle shots where it exited through the shoulder or something similar. Normal broadside shots through the vitals there’s nothing to worry about.
