Thank you very much for your help JPB; I appreciated your assistance, particularly given your experience with the bore diameter.

I'd seen where another person with experience said that of the Speer 270 when flung from the larger x62; I was hoping that perhaps the -400 fps through the x57 might help on that?

I'll do some penetration tests with 'em... that is half the fun of a new rifle/caliber!

I'm looking for data using our domestic powders if possible. Hoping somebody stateside w/ experience might have insight.

Thanks again,
