Re: FTX bullet for 32 Spec?
I'd expect you'd get about the same performance as the 30-30 variety, as long as your gun likes them. My, and my sons 30-30 both shoot them accurately, makes a 30-30 perform like it's on steroids.

Re: Remington 30-30 ammo : 170 grain hollow tip
Stick with the 150 or 170 Corelokt SP"s
It sounds counter intuitive but that HP is designed for deeper penetration and won't perform like the SP's, why they thought it was a good idea is beyond me, the 170 CL penetrates just fine as it is.
If you want a faster response on deer, try the 150's.

Never liked one, took it off 40 years ago and have no idea where it went.
On a lot of guns that have peep sights installed, they often need a higher front sight, so the hood wouldn't fit anymore anyway.

Only used this gun for one deer and one Pronghorn, Bullet exited deer at 100 yds, Bullet did NOT exit on the goat at 315 yds, but it was dead before it hit the ground. Didn't even twitch!
Never saw that before, except in a head shot.

On my 71 336, I ended up with a .500 tall front, could have gotten by with a .470 or whatever is closest to that with the available heights.
The Williams guy said .375 would work,... nope.
