[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1768833, member: 5219"] Guru? Not really. Have used H1000 which is slow but very temp stable. Gravitated to RL-25 and even RL-33 with the heavier bullets in a 257 Weatherby. I would suggest the 115 Berger but it is a VLD and can be finicky with a factory chamber. (we built 6 rifles with a custom reamer with different throat angle etc and all shoot the VLD well) I would give it a try. If it shoots well the bullet will kill well. The load data from Nosler says 72 grs is max for their 115 ballistic tip. You should be able to do similar with the 115 VLD. I have taken 12 coues wt and one antelope to date. The other guys have taken another 15 coues, 4 mule deer, 6 elk another antelope and 2 javelina. The 110 accubond would be a great choice with RL-25. Nosler mentions using RL-25 with the 115 ballistic tip but not the 110 accubond. Max charge weight for 115 is 72 grains. Looking at RL-22 and comparing for 110 and 115 I think you could go up (carefully) to 73-74 of RL-25. Unfortunately my notes on this combination was using Moly coated 110s which is higher. Lots of folks love the 100 TTSX which will shoot flatter but won't buck the wind quite as well as higher BC bullets. [/QUOTE]
