[QUOTE="rhouser, post: 1166131, member: 18752"] I got a sticky bolt and the best group both at 46.5 gr of H4831-SC. This is exactly the same load that this gun (8tw 26" barrel) likes for the 142 SMK's. 46.0, 46.3 and 46.5 all acted as expected with the group tightening at each progression. I have been jumping .010 but may need to play with it. The nosler brass is causing more sticky bolt than either Norma or RP. I wish I could find the Lapua 260 brass. I am sorry I didn't buy it when I had the chance. At 100, this combination is coming in. I will chronograph this load and see what is really happening. If it chono's ok, I will then take it out for some distance. I have access to 1000 yards most weekends, but, at 65, I am not to interested in shooting mats and bipods on top of 30" of snow. Guess that makes me an old wimp. thanks and I'll be back with some chronograph results. rch [/QUOTE]
