Default New Optima V2 nitrided/cerakoted

I keep my weapons for quite a while. However, I finally broke down and bought the above ML in 50 caliber. In the past, I've shot the Precision Rifle 220 grain Dead Centers and 240 grain Extreme Elites with 80 grains of 777 ffg powder in my Knight LK-93, 1:28 twist barrel. Both shoot very well. Is there any reason I shouldn't start with these for this gun? All my shots will be less than 100 yards and more likely 0-50 yards in the area I hunt. I prefer all lead bullets and their performance on the deer I have shot has been outstanding. I'm not concerned about the cost of the Precision Rifle bullets and will very likely be staying with them.

My older (20 years old maybe?) Knight LK-93 is being gifted to my nephews for their use. I updated it this year to the 209 conversion so it will serve them well until they decide if it's something they would like to pursue.

I am interested in hearing what others with the Optima V2 are shooting accurately out of their guns. Thanks Folks.
