Craig often goes to Ernie's shoot in June. Let him know and he will hand deliver them.
I use 14 grains of Alliant Extra Light powder and have had Tom Armbrust test them. Pressure around 5500 psi and the speed is around 1325 fps. Been loading them for 6 years.
Yep, that standard rule applies: put the shot in the right place.

Bill: Are these 2.5" or 2 3/4" shells ?
Thanks in advance
