I talked to the guys at Alliant and have dropped back to 62gr of reloader22 for a velocity of 2675, I can live with it. Now for a bit of shooting this weekend to build some confidence, then off to kill red stags and bloody this thing. I'm also bringing a mauser custom I built in gunsmithing school in .25-06. I wish I chose a better caliber, but it looks damn good for my first build. Should be a fun trip, my first stag too!
