I think I'd quit wasting bullets on load development, and go kill stuff :lol: but I'm like that.........

I think your pretty close to your sweet spot that every one looks for in there gun. But the only way you'l know is to try it. With safety in mind when ever working on a new load. Let us know how things go with your load as you work on it.
