Decided to play with some 55 gr. Ballistic Tips I got a good deal on. Had IMR 4895 on the bench so just decided to start with 2 grains under the Hodgdon website max. I know my bad but it turns out my luck is holding and 42.0 grains of it under the short BT with it's cutsie soft purple colored tip is an easy 3 shots for 1/2 inch load out of my Savage 110. I have plans to destroy a couple of coons and a coyote or two with it before I go on to something else.
