    I'm getting 2600fps with the 100grain eld-vt loaded long, with 25.5grains ar2207 in my 16 inch howa mini. Could definitely get more speed using a different powder but have a 1kg
    To use up

    Prior to this was using factory PPU 123 soft points, chronod them @ 2350fps. Killed plenty of deer with them out to 250m none of them went far...
