G/Day Greg, soon as I've settled on a load my rifle likes I will be borrowing a mates chrony so I can run some numbers to satisfy my curiousity, I'll post them as a final update on this project. I'm not one for hotrodding or watching velocity while developing loads.

It should be good for between 2200fps and 2300 fps with the 225's. I guess that puts it in there with a 30.30 trajectory wise so it's not a long range rifle. Still it should be more than capable of dropping Red Deer at 200 yards if I'm forced to shoot that far.

regards Jacko
