I built a 12in Grendel for short range white tail/mule deer hunting
I get about 2225 FPS with factory 123 ELD-M
I was able to get a few Nosler 129 ABLR that I am handloading with N540 at 27.5-28.0 but I can only get about 2050 FPS.
For a hunting distance of max 150 yards, should I stay with the Nosler 129 because of it's low expansion threashold (about 1300 FPS according to Nosler) or should I stick with the extra 200 FPS with the factory 123.
Would CFE223 be a better powder with the 129 ?
