Nothing wrong there.

Are they designed to shear petals or mushroom?

38 grains of lil gun at 2.311” col

Try them out Saturday


I been shooting CEB 160 gr.Raptor around 2800 fps and the 250 gr. Raptor 2400 fps they are both hammers....going to use the 250's hopefully on a bear....

Depending on how long your throat was cut you could load a little longer gaining some powder space = more velocity

Who made your Blaser barrel ?
