No experience with anything over 120gr, sorry.

Here is some 130gr data for ya.

What are you hunting? with a 24 inch barrel, That 130gr Scirocco will be wide open just to reach 2400fps.

I prefer 100gr TTSX for MN Whitetails at 2700fps.

intention is to hunt elk. I already have a partition load worked up for the task but if I can work out something a little better I would feel a lot better about my chances. it is also a 20 inch barrel so I will likely max at 2300 if I'm very lucky.
