Got a hawkeye a bit ago and am trying to get somewhereclose to listed fps. I'm using 185 barnes ttsx and 200gr horn sst. Will be trying some 200 fed fusion shortly too. I've tried w760 and varget and have only got around 2650 with max book loads (hodgdon and hornady) would like to be closer to 2800 if possible to truly take advantage of this little beauty. Thanks in advance.
