    Everyone here has good points. @dogmatix yeah I know I should have kept that one, would have looked great short and can'd - I am really thinking I will lob her to twenty inches which leaves room in the gun cab for a bush pig like that Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun. But yes if I can get 2500 @ 18.5 w/ 140's I will be over the moon
    @gimp cheers for your help, I love me short guns and understand that a man with one gun will shoot better with it than someone with 100 guns.

    Don't set your sights so low! If I got 2500 and that was it, I'd cry, 2209 isn't the only powder, experiment! am expecting around 2600 with the 160 Hornady round noses I'm about to play with.
