    It could be just my shooting but mine didn't like the 50gr or anything 55gr, I managed to pick up a box of 60 gr hornady white tail which went pretty good.

    I have been looking for factory heavier pills but can't seem to get onto them. I might try a trip to Dunedin to check out what they have in the heavier pills in factory loads

    PPU do a 69gr BTHP, might be worth a try.
