[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 452984, member: 21068"] I used 58 grns H 4831SC with an 85 Nosler BT. I used Winchester brass. This load gave 3600'/sec out of a 26" barrel and pretty consistently shot 1" groups at 200 yds. As flat as my 220 Swift was (55 grn bullets) but with 1/2 the wind drift. The Swift was more accurate however, it would routinely shoot into 1" at 300 yds on a calm day (benchrest of course). This 85 grain load was not overly hot in my rifle, but for some reason I was getting a couple hundred fps better than the load book said I should. Perhaps they were using 24" barrels......I don't remember for sure. I found the the data, Primer was CCI match. I also used the standard CCI primers and didn't notice much difference in accuracy between the two with most loads in that particular rifle. Bullets were seated .005-.025" from the rifleing. I also used 53 grns of H4831 SC and a 115 grn Nosler BT at around 3100'/sec.........both loads were consistently 1/2 minute shooters on calm days in my light weight varmint rifle. [/QUOTE]
