Sir Bob,
Buy a donkey for the Crusade.
Your load is noted, again.
Add 15 fps for an extra inch of barrel and add another 9 fps for plugging your porting on the 24" barrel
and your 2782 fps becomes my 2806 fps from a 25" non-ported barrel.
Close enough to exact for a Crusader.

My BC numbers follow, from the RCBS BC Calculator with my local conditions, for what it is worth,
BC calculated from Labradar 0 to 100 yards vs. manufacturer claim

510-gr W-W RNSN: BC = 0.316 vs. 0.284

500-gr Hornady DGS: BC = 0.267 vs. 0.295

500-gr Federal TBSS: BC = 0.260 vs. 0.328

480-gr Woodleigh HYDRO: BC = 0.198 vs. 0.192 [estimated by (480/400) X BC of uncapped 400-gr HYDRO = 0.160]

480-gr Hornady DGX-Bonded: BC = 0.245 vs. 0.285

480-gr Bubba's XTSX: BC = 0.235 vs. (Bubba was guessing about 0.200, so he is happy.)

450-gr Barnes TSX-FB: BC = 0.338 vs. 0.369

Like I said, this is worth what you paid for it.
