[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1965104, member: 109862"] I’d suggest creating a “reference load” against which to measure the performance of new ones. I recommend a flat base bullet of simple cup and core construction, a budget soft point of some ilk, in a weight guaranteed stable in your twist but not a lightweight. Load to standard coal with an old school single base powder a grain under book max ( start lower for safety etc). Won’t be the greatest load ever but guarantee won’t be the worst. Speer makes a 90 grain hotcor I believe. That’s what I’d try myself. [/QUOTE]
