145 gr. Speer HC’s on top of 51 gr. of RL19 gives 2770 fps out of my 23” custom barreled Ruger #1A. They typically group slightly under an inch at 100 meters (~110 yds.) and work great on our big bodied Alberta white tails and muleys.
I’ve never tried them on elk sized critters but am going to be working up a load with 145 LRXs to see how that pans out.

What man, on his death bed, ever lamented, "God, I wish I had spent more time at the office."
