@Larskramer how did you get on with your load development?
Did you have much success with the CFE223 & 120gr combination?

i tried cfe223 with 90gr tnt it was was slow as got some 2217 to try next
So far getting 2575fps with small magnum primers cfe223 and 95g hornady eldv
At this stage I am wanting to stick to 120-123gr.
So what Velocities are people getting out of a 120-123gr Howa Mini 20" + DPT Over Barrel Suppressor?
I would be happy with the 120gr Barnes TTSX BT doing just over 2500fps if possible.
@Mathias, thank you. That gives me a good starting point.
Purpose of load, is Hunting 80% Goats, 15% Fellow Deer, 5% Red, between 100-300m's.
At the 100m mark, I have had a couple of pass throughs with not much expansion with ELD-M's.
Wanting to try something that opens up a bit more, and had heard good things about the Barnes TTSX BT.
2207 is what I use on the 90 grain tnt, great bullet.
Go to 6.5 grendel .com and a guy there has some great videos of him culling hogs, he rates it as the best bullet ever for hogs.
He also rates the 123 sst .
The 123 eldm opens up awesome, i shot a fallow in the base of the neck at just over 100 yards, the exit hole was big enough to fit my fist in.
I'm even getting 2400fps out of hornady black factory loads. 16" how a mini heavy barrel.
@Larskramer I need to Chrono mine, I recon from the rough reverse drop data I have worked out, I am only getting 2350fps.
Hornady Black factory loads. 20" howa mini standard barrel + DPT overbarrel.
tried a new load out today 30gr 2217 85gr sierra hp nice little 1/2" groups at 100m without trying to hard that will do me havnt chronyd it yet and cant put pics up anymore either. i also put small pillars in the bottom plastic which has improved it as well
