Thank you brother!! This load I did actually try 210m's instead of 215m's because I keep pressuring up fast.

Well it's been a little bit since I last posted. I ended up settling on the 145gr blackholes and retumbo, which I did load the same load with staball hd and got the exact results. I also ventured with the 163gr chinchagas which I think is the perfect weight bullet for this case. Only reason I'm not shooting them currently is my barrel twist. 7.5 is not enough. Needs a 7. To bad to because other then the occasional key hole they shot good and I was getting over 3000fps with them. So far this is the only deer I've killed with the 145gr didn't see anything on public to shoot others then elk. I couldn't get away from the elk in this unit lol. My other unit in October was successful but I had my 7 stw with me to get it some blood under it. So my plan is next year I'm hunting with the Blackbird until I get a good shot on a deer that I can give an honest report on these bullets. Then I'm going to switch over to my Souper and that will be another story.
