For both loads cases indicate that pressure may still be somewhat less than max in my rig. The Oryx load shows more velocity variation than I care for, so more research is necessary. It did send a nice, young red deer buck face down in the grass, though. The Lapua Match load is yet to be clocked, but shows reasonable accuracy potential.
