540 grains at 1550 fps. I also follow the Big Bore Group on facebook and there are lot of wanna be big game hunters that swear that you have to have 500 grain as better than 2000 fps to take elephant, rhino, cape buffalo etc. All BS but I keep my opinion to myself. Vince Gruppo (probably misspelled his name) used Garrett Hammerheads to take the big five. Check out his website. The new owner that bought the business from Randy Garrett is turning out a lot of new ammo as well as the older 44 mag and 45-70 ammo. I hope you are not recoil shy. The 540 +P Hammerheads will set you back on your heels.

its more of a push than a sharp recoil. Still sets you back. (nm)
