Hell of a nice test North, I appreciate it greatly, I bought an old '71 deluxe from BSA here at the 'fire, my Gunsmith had 4 boxes of the old Barnes 250 gr bullets, i bought them because they were there and he sold them at the very fair price of 20 bucks a box out the door.
I developed my load with them using RL-17 powder for a vel of 2350 fps, they shoot good through the factory bolt peep, I've only shot one deer with this combo, IIRC the wt deer was around 55 yards, hit it in the shoulder, it dropped with a complete bullet pass through, so I didn't get to recover one for examination and weighing.
When I get these shot up, I'll more than likely develop a new load using the 250 gr Woodleighs.
