Just completed my first stab with the 25 grain projectiles, abit slower but I like them, certainly good on the Hares, nailed 6 over the weekend from 100-200mtrs easy.
Used the ADI 2205 with 10.8 grain powder, need to spend some more time at the range before I have these exactly where I want them.
Waiting to get my hand on some Lil'Gun powder, seems to be the way to go from what I've read, hard to get even in Auckland
What weapon you using?
I'm using CZ 527, with Varmint barrel, Bushell Trophy XLT 600 DOA scope, and MAE suppressor. Works well

Got a CZ 527 with sport barrel with Vortex 4-16 x 44 scope andDPT suppressor, really quiet. Using factory loads no prob to 250 but drops away at 300. If I can get the cost of rounds under control the HMR will join the .22 in the safe
