    Yes you are right they still killed well, back then we didn't know to much about ballistics, it went bang and animals fell over.

    I would think you would fine using SF along the same lines as 2213 sc , the burn rate charts I have show SF slower than 2213 sc. Just be aware that it's sensitive to temp so a load in winter may be a...

    Not sure in the 2506 but works well in my 270 and 3006. With 178 gr ELD X and 58 grs of SF I get over 2700 fps. And accuracy is good.

    These are a couple of the targets I shot after the suppressor was fitted, it was a bit windy but was in a sheltered gully which helped. My rifle is sighted in for the Hornady 55 gr SP/WC bullet and...
