Wow.... simply wow!

That is a post and a half...!!

Thanks for the pointers. I just need to determine that sweet-spot starting charge.

For N110 here are those I've found so far from different sources:
Jacketed 265gr: 16.6
Cast 267gr: 19.8
Cast 267gr: 20.3
Cast 267gr: 20.4
Jacketed 270gr: 16.2
Jacketed 300gr: 16.0
Linotype 300gr: 14.2
Jacketed 300gr: 18.1
Jacketed 300gr: 18.7
Jacketed 300gr: 17.8
Jacketed 300gr: 17.7
Jacketed 300gr: 17.3

Based on those, especially the cast 267gr bullets, I'd probably look to start around 18.5-19 gr of N110 over a standard primer.

I also think I'll go for velocity in the order of 1050-1150fps.
