I just built one on an FN commercial 98 action.
Lothar Walther 1:8.6" barrel
Getting ready to try hammer 145 hht and 150 gn nosler PT.

I mostly used 140 grain soft points. I currently am using 154 grain interlocks because I got them on clearance.
 
My Granddaughter uses a Ruger AM chambered in that AI. We load her up with 140 Hammer hunters there only going around 2850 fps. There absolute death on deer. If you hit a shoulder even out to 300 yards it will crush the hit shoulder and exit out the off-side shoulder. At 100 yards they will open fully before exit no mater where you hit it.
