[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1021076, member: 85389"] boscodog, Start at .015 off and work back from there. The Elite Hunter bullets are a Hybrid design and very tolerant of jump that make them easy to tune for. That and the fact that you already have the oversize magazine will be a real plus. For hunting applications you really don't want the bullet on or into the lands.
