    So thanks to @Clubbie for the motivation to get onto this...8gr of Trail Boss, 165gr Sierra Gameking. ES of 9fps, average velocity of 1010fps, into a 0.6" group at 50m. I've run out of projectiles so will pull some old rounds I'll never use, and load up 20 cartridges for a bigger test and therefore better stats, but pretty stoked with the initial results.

    I'm likely to stick with traditional hunting bullets with some modifications to the nose, and rely on tumbling for the wound channel.
