I was just wondering if anyone has a strong view on this bullet and also if there is any further ballistic info available (i've tried RUAG and the NRA without much success).
The decision on ammunition for the 2009 Imperial

powders. The length will be the standard

1:13” twist barrel will be 2920 fps at a temperature of
20oC. The round will be supplied under the brandname
