Sorry I don't have any pics or precise measurements, but the 45 gr's did very well re accuracy in my DPMS AR....using near max loads with Varget.....

I tried the factory loads in my 204. I got better accuracy with the 40 gr Vmax.

I have found them to be much more accurate than the 40 V-max. I have shot a few yotes with them and it does knock them flat. I usually get exits on broadside shots. I tried them on g-squirrels as well, but they just "zip" through.

I shot all 3 loads today. Got some promising results. I'll set the tripod up tomorrow & get some target pics.

I've worked up a load in my Kimber using these and got very good results. I'm using Hornady brass, Rem. 7 1/2primer, and IMR 8208 XBR. I started with 24.7gr. and worked my way up. Everything really came together when I hit 25.3gr. The groups were almost equal in size to my Berger 35gr. load and the point of impact was exactly the same. I'm really liking this new IMR powder.

I have not but at 200 fps slower I use my .223 on larger varmints,or until they get more info on the superformance powder. I'll just hang on awhile.
