    Greetings yet again,
    This does move away from the question posed in the opening post but some recent tests I did showed that the 125 grain Speer TNT shot a little right and only a little higher than the 150 grain. the 125 grains were 47 grains of BM8208, AR2206 and AR2206H chronographed at 2,950, 2,940 and 2,900 respectively. These could be adjusted to bring the POA down level with the 150 grain load. The rifle was a Rem 700 in a Hogue stock suppressed and a 10 power scope. The BC of the 125 grain is closer to that of the 150 so the trajectory would be similar.
    Too many things to test and not enough time.
    Regards Grandpamac.
