I don't do my own reloading, but the friend who does it for me is, as we speak, looking to load the 270 grain Barnse XLC coated bullet for my Ackley Improved. He's looking to get @ 2800 - 2900 fps out of it. This way I'll have a load that (in theory anyway) can be used on Steenbuck and Duiker up close in the brush, Kudu and Eland at any reasonable range, and Gemsbok and Springbok out there in the Kalahari to 300 yards if needed.

Ah yes, the search for the perfect match goes on and on and on and on.
