I was curious about these.
How do they do at longer ranges / lower velocities?

Looks like it fragments as well as the 77 gr nosler cc

I load the 69 gr cc over a max charge of 26 gr varget and am getting velocities close to yours from a 16 in carbine.

I don't know. I'll probably retest with my 11.5" SBR.

Interesting, but this should be in the reloading forum...

I posted over there too, but this bullet is used in factory ammunition as well, so I thought it might be useful here, too.

And it is. Thread fits in this forum just fine.

Thanks for sharing your results online as usual.

Thanks for your support.

I don't really have the time, either.

Keep pissing off my wife taking up a day almost every week with testing, measuring, pics, editing, remelting the gelatin...
