Funny u mention 200 grainers.
I have 200 grain partitions and 200 grain a-frames a feller sent up.
I have on hand 200 grain hot cors, 200 grain oryx and 1 220 grain partition left. I'll be testing them all in a stack spruce boards that are free of any big knots.
I'll test them soon and start a new thread.
When ravenrocks was running 200 grain oryx bullets at $49.95 per 100, I practically bought him out.
My personal load:
200 grain oryx
Whatever range rubbish or new brass on sale.
46 grains leverevolution (work up from 44)
Standard primer
Standard COAL
2600 fps (22" barrel).
I've ran to 47 grains in some garbage winchester brass. All that happens for pressure signs, is loose primer pockets. So "overpressure" was predictable.
