With my test with a OAL of 1.22" I had these results;
Red Dot 3.5........... 798fps.......... ES 32
Green Dot 3.8........ 806 .................. 49
w231 4.2 .............. 805 .................. 53
Unique 4.4 ............ 798 .................. 79
2400 8.7 .............. 803 ................. 125
It is interesting but I have good accuracy from high ES loads, just wanted to post this data, for the heck of it.
I changed my mind and will do four more test.
These will be with the short "Factory" OAL of +/- 1.18" that this
130 gr bullet was set up at by the factory.
I will give the 2400 powder one more try at a 100% case volume load and will do three other powders that did well in my test, to see if there really is a top dog in the group.
This test will have a light crimp on the bullet to help out with FPS, with the minimal powder charges, with hopes of finding a load that is close to POA and also 830 fps.
I will be loading a OAL of 1.18" with a light crimp with;
Green Dot.... 3.8
BE-86.......... 4.8
Blue Dot ...... 6.3
2400 ........... 9.0
I really want one of these loads to step forward and show that this bullet
is capable of good accuracy for a SD loading.
Later.

Thanks for the updates on your load development. I haven't had a chance to do any load development for this bullet yet but will definitely use your data when I do to confirm.
