Thread: developing new load for the roar

am almost out of my go to 6.5 cm projectiles (120 gr Nos BT) and need to get a new load sorted to go hunting this weekend. Have got some Nos 129 ABLR which i have heard good things about regarding terminal performance. my initial ladder had most shots touching which was pleasing but the speeds seamed underwhelming. my rifle is kimber mountain assent with 22 " barrel i think. was using the newish 6.5staball powder and hit pressure at 2767 fps with 43 gr, book max is 2889 from 44.3 gr with 24" tube. Other powders i have are Reloader 16 and superformance. Any thoughts and opinions welcome. Thanks
