Default Looking for an idea on velocity

Okay, I picked up some Speer Deep curl 270gr, .430 cal bullets to try. Thought I would use them is coming rifle season.

I ran the ladder of different charges of Bh209 and could not get the accuracy that I wanted. Moved onto Pyrodex still no success. Right then. Try good old Goex 2f, got love it. Found the sweet spot of 85grs. I'm talking under and 1" at 100yds.

Okay, I'm hitting 2.5" high at 50, 2" high 100 and 4.5" inches low at 150yds. If I plug these numbers into a ballistics calculator using 1500 ft/sec, I'm pretty much on the money.

Its showing 140yard PBR and about 800+ fpe at that distance.

How do these numbers look? I realize numbers mean nothing, but I'm just curious on energy out to 150 yards, because I'm very confident it my accuracy out that distance.
