that I had custom patched for the very special task. I finally stopped at 1900 fps, that was all I could manage and still hit anything. I figured it would shoot though a bear and that was good enough. I really couldn't see a benefit in an inch or so of longer range trajectory. You the man, got to be as bad as you are.
