    interesting speed in that case......smaller bore by half a mm and msot poohsenties would be showing pressure at that sort of speed with a 130grn load..... thats what Norma used to state they got ,on the box.....and they were pretty darn warm loads.

    What I meant was you will burn your barrel fairly quickly with the 120gr , I'd go 140-143-147 etc get more use and in general if your hunting with it a better[ I think] result further out
    If speed is your aim then go for it.

    ok thats a point i think realisticly it will spend most of its time shooting targets we like to think we will use them for everything tho possibly some longish range steel will be more realistic as well not to say i wouldnt shoot an animal if the opportunity presented its self testing after lunch trying 2217 powder as well
