Grayfox, Im working with a 22" Pacnor 5 groove barrel
My research is suggesting Id do well to focus on the Ramshot Tac for the 80 gr CX with upper velocity in mind for now. Perhaps stick with cool mornings for now & if I am liking what I see, Follow up with a 2nd load work up on a cool october morning to verify & or tweek the load for cooler weather if needed.
I had done a little load work up with the GMX last year though, The CX I have not tried at all as of yet. Only picked up 150 of the 80 grain projectiles as the 90 gr CX is what I think Id prefer. Load data suggest I may only be giving up 50 FPS with the 90 GR CX & should I be pushing my shot distance to 250 to 300 yards the Higher BC of the 90 would more than off-set the lower starting velocity. Ill strive for a shot under 200 yards & 300 may be my self imposed limit.
Inside of 200 yards I expect Id be very confident with the 80 GR CX with most shot angles. 90 grain would likely boost that confidence to the 300 yard mark.
I have really wanted to try the 90 CX though they don't seem obtainable as of yet.
Im kicking arround a 90 gr E- tip & 85 gr Controlled chaos as well.
