Yep, that's the dope.

In the LATE 70s, I began using surp 4831 and vel 3100 +/-.

That said the Hornady 130 SP and 140 BTSP do not blow up. AT LEAST the older stock of bullet I have.


Yep, I have a few loads with the 130 Horn. My dad took a nice 12 pt that went about 250 on the hoof with one two years ago. Great bullet and a little harder than the Sierra.
