I've done some searching on here and still haven't located any info on the Black Hills ammo loaded with 73-grain projectile - I think it's a BTHP (OTM)

Has anyone shot this?  Any results accuracy wise?   Any information on performance in gelatin? Pot Roasts?

One would *assume* that it would have decent penetration/fragmentation by extrapolating data about the 68, 69 and 75 grain black hills loads, but assumptions aren't data of course, so...

Anyone know where I might find more info on these?   (already checked the Oracle, didn't see info for this load there, but if I missed it, I'm sure someone will let me know.)

Thanks

Artifex,
It is compareable in most all respects ,including gel and accuracy, to the 77. We discontinued it for 2005. Jeff Hoffman, Black Hills Ammo
