Dang man, sounds like you got more experience than I could hope to have and sounds like you've gotten great results from what you've been doing!

I shoot RNs nearly anytime I know to expect shorter range shots just because they're such reliable expanders. I'm working up a load for the Interlock 117 gr RN right now in my 257 AI for this fall's deer season.
