Update:
My goal is to get either 62 gr Sirocco’s or 60 gr Partitions around 3,800 fps to shoot close to the same spot as my 52 gr hollow point coyote load at close to 4,000 fps. With that I would be able to have a coyote bullet in the chamber and a deer/hog bullet below in the magazine. I shoot every coyote I can so they skittish around here. Lol
So far haven’t hit 3,800 fps with my hog bullets and POI is about 1” from my coyote load. 👎
Did manage to get 52 gr Sierra HPBT’s and Sierra 55 gr SPBT’s to hit very close to each other at around 3,900 fps so that will work for now.
I load where I shoot so as I was working on my 52 gr coyote load I loaded one 40 gr H380, shot, checked case and chrony, loaded 41 gr, shot, 42 gr and shot. All 3 shots were touching. Unusual for 2 grs difference in powder charge.
Took it to the blind with me yesterday evening and heart shot this 18.5” Hill Country 10 pt at right at 275 yds. Ran about 30 yards and gave up the ghost.
So far so good.
