    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.

    I had come up to Masterton to see my parents and had to stay longer than I expected. For a break I reached out to Tahr to see if I could tag along on one of his hunts. He was going to be hunting...
