APP has no power. That seems like a light load for such a heavy bullet.

Looks good Corey. I keep telling myself to try paper patching but never get around to it.

Man I would have to agree with Muley on this. 65 grs doesn't seem like enough to get you any velocity with that big hunk of lead. Would be interesting to see what kind of speed you were getting and translate that into energy.

I shoot 65 grains of Swiss 3F out of my Blacktail with a BS 460gr bullet. Get great accuracy and dropped a big cornfed doe in her tracks last Fall.

Swiss is equal to T7. APP stinks, and has no power. I wasn't talking about the 65 gr as much as the powder.
