    As above I settled on 23.5gr 2206h in adi brass with the 73gr eldm. As I went higher I started experiencing pressure. Drops seem to validate with a velocity of 2850fps on Applied ballistics.

    Less. Great penetration. The 74 grain are the same length as his 69 grn but have a heavier core. G1 bc.380. They will stabilise in a 1:9.

    Mainly I use Targex 80 grn in my 1:8 but have 260 74 grn loaded which I am very happy to use before I go back to the 80's. I got the 74 grn when the jackets for the 80 grn were unavailable.

    That will perform very differently from a .223 I expect

    People seem to use the ELDm's at 22 Creedmoor velocities successfully.

    Anyone else used the Hornady Black 75grn hpbt ammo on deer?
    I shot two hinds tonight at 80 yards, both crease shots, both only took two steps and died. A lot of internal damage to lungs. Be keen to hear others thoughts or experiences with this ammo.

    I think I might have nicked that one with the first shot.
