    3K from a couple of 20" barrels using 2206.

    80 grain at 2800 performs better than 69grn at 3000. But 69 grn at 3000 performs a lot better than 69 grn at 2800.

    Targex 69grn at 2.9/3k are better than 55 grn cup and core at 3150 on deer.

    From my experience only.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
