Do you work for Alaska Grizzly Ammunition or something? In literally half of all your posts you are suggesting "Alaska Grizzly Ammunition".

He does.  He has even signed some posts "Grizzly Ammo".

I am allowing it for now as for the most part it is contributing to the community.

Grizzly Ammo is very popular in Alaska.
I done cronograph testing of the top 3 Hardcast loads in G20

Buffalo Bore 2nd Best
Underwood (New Production) very disappointed
Grizzly Ammunition

Grizzly Ammunition for velocity was clearly the winner and the closest to the claimed
1250 fps with 200gr in 4.6". Also after opening one up it appears to be 8.5 of Longshot powder contained in that load. Good factory load but still not at max or close to max levels but safe.

Yes, it is documented and it is posted in the 10mm download section here on the forum and the load data matches what was found 2017

The Berry Thick Plated 200 and 220Gr FN is very good trail bullet with my load of 8.6 of Longshot with either bullet.
