    It really depends on how much you want to buy... I purchased a few thousand rounds a while ago so that's bulk price. I believe gun city still stock the ppu soft point. Could be worth grabbing a couple boxes and seeing if your gun likes it.

    Just use the data for their 63gn projectile or 69gn SMK.
    Don't be hung up on the OAL either. Either focus on distance from rifling or seat it to fit the mag.

    Try Belmont Action Rifle Powder.

    Belmont Powder | Product Categories | Belmont Ammunition

    26.3gr with a Hornady 55gr SP, Murom SR mag primer shoots under 20mm in my 16" BCM @2900 fps.

    Fallow, goats, wallabies no problem to 300m, cheap too

    I use 24.5gr of 2206H for my 69Matchkings (competition) and probably the same for the 65gr game kings - which i would use for hunting fallow
    Being over gunned is under rated.

    Yep. I did.

    FYI, my OAL to projectile ogive was 49.76mm, which works in most AR mags.
