My guess is you will shoot closer to the sights with a faster load.

Thanks! I'm also just recalling I was actually using the HDY 150 interlocks at only 2400, not much better than .30-30. I ran some numbers on the HDY Calculator and indeed, the 200gr Speer bullet would cut 40" of drop at the same velocity.
