HH i never shot it in my original Optima due to it not being available back then. In the new optima, it shoots amazingly well at 100 yards with 100gr blackhorn209 and a 300gr Thor conical.

I mainly shoot 90gr BH209 and the 295gr Powerbelt.

My main reason for shooting is it not having to swab, reliable, excellent power and very easy clean up.
