I think you are correct in your thinking.

I've loaded the following:
5-Rounds @ 44.0
5-Rounds @ 45.0
5-Rounds @ 46.0

Going to the range this tuesday with the chronograph. Plan is to get there before noon. I seem to get better results in the morning or in the afternoon when the sun is not directly overhead.

If I get some data, I'll post it. I'd be happy with easy recoil and anywhere between 2600 and 2700 fps. My rifle has already proven it likes the bullet/powder combo.
