Found the load I`ve been looking for

I`ve been playing with a .22-6mm for abt. 9 mo. now and think I`ve findly found the load I`ve been looking for. I got groups around 1/2 moa with 80 gn. Sierra MK bullets, but to get them I had to keep the velosity down around 3,200 fps. I tried some 80 gn. Bergers yesterday and shot a .321 group at 3,481 fps. The magic load was 50 gn. of Mag. pro. and a Fed. llarge rifle match primer. They are plently warm and I my drop back .2 of a gn., but they will still be up around 3,400 fps. where I think they should be.
Now the big question, will they open up on game??? I built the rifle for long range coyote shooting and have taken 1 coyote at 350 yrds. with the 80 gn. Sierra`s at 2,800 fps and it did a real nice job, but will the Berger`s open. They will be spinning at 5,221.5 rev`s. per second so I think they should open, does anyone know??????????
