Accounted for a fair few animals now and never had one go more than a couple of steps.

How much W760/414 are you running? That’s a decent speed for 19 inch.

Running 2740 with 58 grains of 2213sc and 162 ELD-Ms from a 22” barrel. Necked up and neck turned 6.5-.284 Lapua brass. Mine was reamed from 7-08 by Dave Ward in Dovedale. I could go faster with other powders but 2213sc gives great accuracy and low pressure.

I had the same length barrel and pills getting very similar speed with 2209. Thought that speed was about the norm?

I'm running 162gr amax in my 18inch 7mm08 @ 2540fps with 2208.
162gr Amax in my 20inch 284 @ 2840fps with H414

Just interested how many grains? 53.3 is doing 2680fps in 20inch Tikka which is over max from memory but not that fast
