Congrats on a very nice bird! But I'd really like to know more about that load. Where did you get that loading data from? What is the velocity and pressure? I've been looking for a load like that. I'm stuck with a 1-1/4 oz. load right now, and it seems a shame to waste all that hull capacity, but I can't find a load listed like yours that has acceptable velocity (1100-1200) and pressure (7500 or less). Thanks,

Jim
