Yup, definitely a 22" barrel. Does that make much of a difference.

Gotta say I'd change the powder and go on again with those speeds. The NBT works best when it arrives quickly - more fragmentation and expansion. I was driving a 70gr at around 3400, and it was a very good bullet.

Yes, it might be worth keeping the N150 for developing a 55g load and stepping up to N160 for everything over that up to 95g. I do have use for a soft point or partition load in 95g.
I really wanted to check that the load was safe though. I have to say, on Foxes it does expand well but not to the point where it is explosive. Longest shots to date were 262 yards and they dropped where they stood. So, even though it may be slightly trundling along at 2900fps isn, it does still work.
