I'll keep reading the mail on this.....

44gr was listed as max with 140-142gr bullets. 43 gave me great accuracy and no pressure issues....so it is what it is and I will take it.

43gr is just below neck shoulder junction

Come on Fuj'...give in! experience the POWAH of the dark side...go for a pound.
