[QUOTE="JD338, post: 89219, member: 3719"] red dog, I am a Nosler guy so I can't help you with the Hornady or Seirra bullets. My guess is that they would shoot fine. I settled on a load for the 160 gr AB with 62.0 grs of RL22, R-P case, and Federal GM215M primers. This load consistantly shoots in the .2's with the smallest group measuring .218" center to center. I plan on finding a load for the 140 gr AB. With 64.0 grs RL22, I am getting groups in the .6"-.7" range. I want to try RL19 and H4831sc to see if I can get smaller groups. I did try the 120 gr BT just for grins and hit paydirt with the very first load I tryed! Using 62.0 grs of RL19, I had a 3 shot group of .277" @ 100 yds. The first 2 shots measured .100". The COL is 3.387". Keep in mind that the scope is a Leupold VXIII 2.5x8. I am planning on getting a 4.5x14 and am leaning towards the B&C reticle. This is my first custom barreled rifle and I must say that I am very pleased with the accuracy I am getting. I would strongly urge you to look at Hart barrels. I was told that they are the most consistant and based on accuracy, it must be somewhat true. Cleaning is a snap. A few patched with Sweets and MC7 and I'm done. As for velocity, I can't tell you because I do not own a chronograph. My smith told me that my 160 gr AB load should be right around 3000 fps but this is only a guess. I plan on getting a Oehler 35 by spring and will be able to post figures then. Hope this helps you out. Regards, JD338 [/QUOTE]
