    Load development for target is diffrent for load development for hunting.
    A lot is similar, but the nuances that are not is that target shooters are not concerned with terminal ballistics and muzzle energy.
    Paper is real easy to kill.
    Bullets behave diffrently at 300 or longer than they do at short range.
    Now if you were looking for a long range load that would stay supersonic, that is diffrent than a midrange load.
    Scopes have elevation dials on them for a reason.
    He is a lot closer to malabar gun club than we are, just sayin.
    The rifle will tell you what it likes.

    I do like the 42.4, 42.5 and 42.7 , I will stick to those grains of powder for my 100-300 y shooting. The 45 gr, will be for 600+ yards, when I can go to a range that have that distance. When I get the chance, I will definitely try them at 300 y. Now I can concentrate on the 6.5 creed.
