[QUOTE="robbor, post: 112248, member: 1420"] Thank you all. I think I will get some Berger 185's and 210's and give them a try. As for the rifle it is a 1 in 10 twist stock savage 116fss and I was trying to stay away from the heavy stuff given the light weight of the rifle. One day i will fit it with a longer heavy barrel but not right now. The rifle was brand new for last deer season and I only got a chance to go to the range once before sighting in and looking for a load. So I did not plan on shooting over 350 yards. Unless I really had to [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. I still have more work to do as I am not at max for rl-22 but want to try rl-25. What ever powder I used besides rl-22 did not shoot well at all and my finishing loads of rl-22 were just starting to group but I want to say I was still about 4-5 grains under max in my book. Even with the light loads I was very surprised by the flat trajectory and ease of hiting targets to 400. She just kicks like a mule. And as for the wildcat bullets they are just a little to pricy for me right now, its bad enough how much powder this thing eats. [/QUOTE]
