180 gr Speer HCFN .358

[Charlie38]

Anyone use these bullets on deer @ 2700fps ?
Going to use them out of my 358 Win.

Any calibre 180 grain bullet will drop a deer if it's placed properly.

I realize that , just wondering if they act like a bomb at higher speeds generated by the 358 and 35 Whelen or will hold together

I've never used them, but wonder that they might be designed for the 35Rem given the flat nose.

The 200gr Rem SP has been quite accurate in most 35s I have tried them in. I'd go there first for a deer bullet.

I am not familiar with these bullets, I think? Are they hollow point pistol bullets? If so, I wouldn't use them in a .358 Winchester at 2700 fps.
I have used the Speer 180 grain FN, which are a rifle bullet, and they worked well on deer without any excessive expansion.
