I decided to shoot two of the resized cartridges and the last four that I had just used the factory cases with the powder charge and bullets replaced. The first two were the resized cases and the bullets were touching. All 6 rounds clustered right into an inch. So load developement is done. My best guestimation as to velocity is certainly 3100 fps and maybe a bit more. Hopefully before too long there will be a terminal performance test on a hog or a deer. I don't think this is the short penetrating load I am looking for to use around the HOA for feral hog control.
