You using a mustard spoon NW? I will send you my shovel

Nah, sounds about right for an antique. I put a bit more into my S&L.

Looking at the listed velocities I have found I will use the 4895 in the 222 and stick with the AR2209 and my load of 46.5 gr which I use in the 260 and see how we go. This is devastatingly accurate with the 120 gr so he has some of the new 127 gr Ballistic tips so will work up from 44 gr and we should be right. Accuracy is what we are after but if we can keep the velocity above 2700 it will work better out at 300 m on those tahr.
