Did you chrono them? They did 1142 average from my 16.5" so not subsonic. The powder is slow to help cycle naughty black guns, so there's more muzzle pressure than you'll get by loading them with a...

If you're getting lovely little groups and a 3fps spread with Federal, what have you got to gain?

Gold dots should go mint at those ranges given the speeds. I've been really happy with their repeatedly good performance in 223.
