Primary use will be for moderate range deer and hogs. My bud swears by the 95TTSX at 2900ish. I ordered 500 brass, 110SPHs, 95TTSXs, and 120SSTs. Also ordered 5 boxes of Hdy 120SST factory loads. Picked up a couple pounds 10x, a pound of 335, and a brick of #41s to get started. Couldn't find any 2200 around here, but I'll give it a shot with these to start. Have a few other powders that should work as well(5744, R7, 2015, and 4198).

Looking fwd to whacking some critters with it, I really like how it turned out. Hopefully it'll shoot

Have a good one,

Loder

I know the 95s work great at 270 Win speeds.
