Yeah, but wasn't it a bit too low? At my ranges I don't think my fps will ever get that low.
I have a problem with the Bloodline. It's the big hollow point. When i shot the Optima I sighted in the the 250gr Areolite. I had it dead center at 100yds. I had a few Barnes 250gr T-EZ I shot too, and it shot to the exact same POI as the Aerolite. I also had a few of the Bloodlines. Mike sent them to me, and I assume they were 250gr, but now that I think about it i'm not sure. I don't know how long a brass bullet should be? Anyway, they shot 4" lower than the Barnes or Aerolite. This could mean it's losing fps to the other two bullets. I'm thinking it's the big hollow point. I'm trying to retain as much energy as possible, because i'm not using heavy bullets.
Now, if the Bloodline was a 275gr i'll have to rethink this. Mike might remember.
