KW,
I don't know if you got the same promotion as I did from Midway, but these bullets sure are at a good sale price.

I was just looking at the data from my Hornady loading book, and checked on the load that my Nephew used with these bullets.
He loaded 6.3gr of W-231 with the 185gr flat nose Rainier, which put the velocity at 900fps which should be just fine listening to all of your advises.
