Okay, I'll make up a ladder going from 8.0 gr of 800X through 9.0 gr. I know I should start lower than 0.1 gr below book max but between your results with 9.4 gr and my earlier results with 8.5 gr and an XTP bullet, I feel comfortable working up. I think that 9.4 gr might be a bit much just because of the ES. Assuming I also see no pressure signs, I'll gelatin test the 9.2 gr load as well as a 7.6 gr (subsonic) load.


I'm excited to see what these do in gelatin but I wish they had used a kinetic puller or something that bit less into the jacket.


*Edited to change the upper limit of the ladder. I had enough bullets to do 8.0-9.0 gr of 800-X, along with the subsonic load.
