Semi, try a 105 and 110 gr load with those bullets and see what happens.that gold dot especially like's being pushed..
I did shoot three shots with 100 grains last weekend Builder. It gave me a 3.5" group. And a 90 grain load gave me a 3" group. But the main thing is that 100 grain load was just brutal in the little X7. I'm not at all recoil shy, but didn't enjoy shooting those loads.

I wouldn't hesitate to hunt with that load Sqezer. It has plenty of energy and is flat enough out to 150 yards so as to require no holdover estimation. The trajectory would look something like this.

And that would be nice not to swab when shooting sabots.
I can't deny it Cayugad. It is nice.
