I used 10 grains with my experiment. I intended to use a magnum load of 150 grains for some long distance shooting. I stopped at 120 grains when my groups started opening up. I settled for 90 grains and figured accuracy and putting one where it counts is greater then ft. lbs and velocity. As it turned out 90 grains worked extremely well on a large deer.
