I really wish the Bragging Board was operational as was, but with your detailed description I can see it in my head. It's good to hear those bullets have been working well for you. I worked up a load using the same bullets in my Ruger American Ranch Rifle in 300 BO with velocities a hair over 2400 fps from the 16 inch barrel. I did this so my wife could use it to hunt deer and pigs, but she hasn't connected on either yet, she keeps closing her eye(s). It's good to hear it will work if she ever keeps her eyes open.
