Title: Which BLitzKing?
Post by: seth30 on March 11, 2014, 12:15:58 PM: I have been shooting the 55 grain's but might migrate to the 50 Gr or 40 Gr. This is my primary coyote round, and if you have any date on the two different grains pelase share. I use LC Brass and Varget powder. For the primers I have CCI Small Rifle Magnum.

All the data is available on the bullet manufacturer's website. It's all in what your gun likes! :twocents:
