I used to run The 52 Sierra HPBT and then switched to the 52 Amax using the same charge of h4895, i didn't have a chrono when I was shooting the Sierra but the same load shot the Amax 3795fps. Generally coyotes were dead in their tracks with no exit, a few blow outs, and a few that got away but that was very poor shot placement more anything. I switched to the Amax because I gained just a touch better accuracy and a touch better terminal performance but I wouldn't hesitate to shoot the 52 Sierra again at high velocities.
