I don't own a chronograph, but plan to rent one at the range, and work up powder charges from there. I do have high hopes for the BigGame powder and anything over 2200 is a WIN in my book (as the factory PPV stuff I shoot now is listed at 2200mv and is $40/box here). My magazine length is fairly short as I'm limited to a 3.330 COAL, even though when I measured the 'chamber distance to the lands?' it came to 3.442. Which brings me to another question: as the published max COAL's are 3.290 what are the consequences of maxing out my mag length to 3.330?
Any experience with the speer hotcores vs privi vs hornady SP's as far as these softer bullets providing maximum penetration? They seem to be rather affordable.
