Well these loads give excellent accuracy anyway.

Ruger Ultralight 20 inch barrel

CCI 250 primers were used as I have a bunch of them, Remington cases.

100 gr. Speer HP 44.0 grs. WC852, 2651 fps.

120 gr. Speer BTSP , 42.0 grs. I4350 2660 fps

120 gr. Speer Mag Tip, 42.0 grs. I4350 2680 fps.

The 100 grain load was chosen because I had a Lee dipper that held just that amount. The 42.0 loading of IMR 4350 has proven to be very accurate, 1/2 grains of powder either way opens the nice tight groups up to 1 1/2 inches or a bit more. For my present needs these seemingly low velocities are all I need.

Or just shoot it like it is and not worry about it. Then again H100V is supposed to get near 3000fps in a longer barrel!

You need to start all over. EVERYBODY knows it's impossible to kill big game with less than 3000 fps muzzle velocity!

I must have killed all those deer and hogs while processing them! When I lived in Wyoming and my average shot distance was over 150 yards I loaded for top velocities all the time, now that I live in Texas where a long shot is 250 yards I like 2600 to 2800 fps just fine. I have to say I thought I would be getting closer to 2800 fps than 2600 fps with the 120 gr. loads though.
