    Hmm, maybe i should try a few shorter ones as well. Im thinking if i crimp shorter i will miss the cannalure but I guess that's not a big deal? Ive got 7.5 gr and 8gr loads to try as well so should be interesting to see how you go. I might get a chance to shoot a few tomorrow and get some speeds as well. Ive had reasonably good results with 150 gr berry bullets and 7.5 gr TB as far as accuracy goes- 2 groups shot so far- one 15mm 3 shot group @ 50m and one 8mm group@ 50 m with 1.5-4 leopoldo scope. Ive tried to catch a few bullets in milk bottle line ups but they are too punchy and keep exiting out the back( I think 6 or seven). Tried 200 mm clear macrocarpa post and hole out the back same size as hole in the front. These are all at about 1050fps
