BUT the bullets were key holing at 7 yards as the bullets rear does measure .309, but the rest of the bullet then abruptly tapers to .306. I am going back to the few .90 grain hollow points I have and will post those results soon.

Hi,

Even though the original DWM bullets were at .309, the groove diameter in these is .311, so don't be afraid to try fatter bullets.
