A made in Montana website developer building independent online tools to help us promote, protect and exercise our firearms freedom. I am a 20 year veteran operator and trainer in the emergency roadside service industry. Starting with a childhood and teen years spent in school and family construction in Miles City, MT. Then beyond to Reno, Las Vegas and Northern California after politicians ruined the economy in the late 70's. After having a child my amazing wife and I moved from Tracy, California home to raise him in the last best place. My health since has now restricted me from working outside of my home and here we are today providing a different public service because there is nothing more satisfying. VOTE to help keep Montana pro-gun and I'll keep building and maintaining tools for us to exercise our RTKBA locally online. Feature ads or donate to help keep the lights on and keep me motivated.
800x is supposed to be the bee's knees for top end loads. Too bad it's discontinued. I've got a bunch of Blue Dot I'll play around with. But I've been kinda leaning towards trying some AA#7. Not too worried about hitting top speed. I'd be plenty happy with a 255 @ 1050-1100fps.
Did you happen to play with 230gr hardcast? I'm primarily curious if the small increase in weight outperforms the faster and lighter bullet in hard target penetration?
I'm kinda thinking it's a draw at those weights. If there was a 50gr difference I'd lean towards the heavier bullet.
