Anyone try this yet?

Just tried this bullet out yesterday and so far it's looking good. 100yd .45" group, ringing tombstones @ 1000 and even played around @ 1500 with my last 3 rounds. @ 1500 I consistently hit 6 feet low and dead center 3 for 3, no scope adjustments were made.

I went up to 90 grains(not chrono'd yet) and the primers had nice radiused edges. I plan to pressure test up to 93gr.
