That is why 1650 fps is really all the farther I have thought about taking the CP LBT style bullet. Certainly, there is no need to go much faster than the mid-1700's. With the 300 grain load, I was tring to duplicate the trajectory of my .30-30 with a 170, and it is actually a little faster, but accuracy is nice enough that I think I'll stay right where I'm at with that one.

BTW, my rifle is a Guide gun, also. I gave the 22 incher some consideration, but I really liked the way the GG handles in thick cover, and when I take to the trees for deer.
