GPM.

Haha, nope no piss taking here. Chronographed, verified on range and deer flattened out to 500yd with this load. @Blackfern is spot on, 58gr of superformance in a tikka chamber, recipe supplied by Sir Duley himself. Couple of grains less needed in most other chambers to get to the same pressure he reckons.
You wouldn’t happen to be one of those traditionalists I mentioned would you GPM??
