FjoldInteresting Rusty, I've never tried 8208. I'll have to look into it.

RustyMike. I did not have my Chrony at the range. QuickLoad says 2798 FPS so around 2800 FPS.
I really wasn't trying to hit the dime. At the time my wife was out shopping and I figured that that may be my "LAST DIME", so I was just trying to get close!
If I should repeat these results, I'll let ya know.
