[QUOTE="budlight, post: 91255, member: 2939"] From lots of chrono testing time with my 270's. R-22 and IMR 7828 can drive the Sierra 140 and 150 boat tails the fastest. I use CCi-250 mag primers and a tall drop tube and shoot highly compressed loads. I'm not sure what your expecting for terminal performance. I've never recovered a bullet even from side base of the neck shots on elk. I was all ready for the long range hunting and after a hard day in the mountians and heading home I had a herd of deer blocking the road. With a 6X24 i had a real hard time placing a sub 50 yard shot when all I could see was hair. The 150 sbt past through the large buck without hitting a rib on the input side and exited with a less than quarter $ size hole on the exit side even ticking a rib. Even still traveling over 3000 fps at impact it never hit anything substantial enough to cause any expansion. That was about the last time I ever tried the classic heart lung broad side shot.
