[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 217323, member: 4491"] Derek, can't say i've found a sweet spot, i've been putting more powder in and the speed goes up and acceptable accuracy stays about the same. i keep shooting more powder until i get a sticky bolt, then you have too much. 2 gr below this would normally be my max load. the manuals are very conservative to put it mildly. i tested these bullets at 30 and 540 yards to see how they mushroom. at 30 yards, i place a piece of 7/16" particle board, gallon jug, 2nd board and then 6 more jugs, with water of course. found the bullet inside the 6th jug with a perfect 4 pedal mushroom. at 540 yards, i just lined up jugs without any boards. i wanted to see if the bullet would open up. it completely penetrated 5 jugs and was against the 6st jug. again with a perfect 4 pedal mushroom. i wish i could post a picture showing the 2 bullets, they look exactly the same.
