Awesome as always, thank you.

I’ve been wanting a factory load ever since the bullet came out. But am disappointed that they left so much potential untapped. I have to think that someone else will start loading it soon, and a bit closer to its potential; Black Hills, Corbon, Dallas Reloads, McCourt...

So, still waiting!

I plowed through a good deal of the thread where all the testing was done on this bullet. I could not find a load over 21 grains of 1680 that was not over 2000 fps. I’m beginning to wonder of the factory loads might just be a bit faster than they marked on the box. That would be a pleasant surprise and possible.

Good idea. If nothing else, maybe I’ll get some and run them through the chrono. It’d be nice to be surprised.

Looking at both the Barnes 110 and the Speer 150 its hard to due a good drop/energy comparison as Speer tends to quote false BC values. The Barnes at .289 seems reasonable but the 150GD is rated at .465 which isn't even close, thats higher than a Sierra 168 HPBT. Shooting them at my range they drop fairly quickly making me believe the BC is probably the same as everyone else 150 flat base bullet. Maybe a 125 GD with a boat-tail and higher bc would be the ticket.
