Played around a bit with 2213SC in 65.06ai before I realised I needed much slower powder. 48 - 49 gns was giving 2740-50 with 130 gn pills. Still use it (47gn) for fireforming loads.

congrats, very nice stag. Great you got to experience this with the Mrs in tow. Hard yards makes it that much more memorable

Are you considering 2nd hand as well as new? You can pick up some good quality optics 2nd hand if you are patient. For $1000 one you might want to consider is the Bushnell Fusion 1mile ARC RF binos

Check out the “good deals on TradeMe “ thread on here. I posted a link to some very nice Kahles 10x42s that would be worth considering. Current bid is around $630

+1 for what Seventenths has stated. 280ai will get you more speed - getting close to 7mmRM but you need to go with min 24in bbl. I get 2980 fps in my 280ai with the old 162AMAX. 284 will tolerate...

+1 for powder selection as above. Do you have powder already? If not and you can’t find the above you could look at RL23 or the older 22 which are similar burn rate to 2217. Also N560, spendy but...
