[QUOTE="MrPerry, post: 1289912, member: 100678"] Hi Axl Yes I will probably try 4350 (AR2209) as well but I have used the 2213sc with sierra gamekings in 140 with great result and I still have a fair bit of powder left. I found that 56 gr was a great charge in my rifle wih the GK just of the landings. Most people seems to shoot 130 gr projectiles or 150...I couldn't make up my mind so I went in between. The only problem I've had is the lead tip getting flat on the next round as it hits the magasine wall on the recoil. Obviously not a problem if you load single shots on the range but a bit annoying in the bush. Never the less even wih the tips a bit flattened the groups has been very nice and tight and I've only had 1 victim getting away. I shot a dog on 25 meters. He kneeled and jumped in to some dense bush on he other side of the creek. It was too dense to follow once I got there and hardly any blood. I know he would not have gone far but the projectile was a bit too hard for the thin skin. I scored 1/4" from the tip down on 4 sides on the next bullet with a knife and next dog had an exit hole the size of a tennis ball after being hit on 200 meters. He hit the ground so hard you could have seen it on the richter scale. A so called natural death in a cattle paddock. Heading down to Brisbane to pick up the new bullets tomorrow so hopefully someone will find some data and post it here. Cheers Perry [/QUOTE]
