[QUOTE="jmden, post: 377489, member: 1742"] Yeah, I killed a couple of elk and a muley with the 240/US869 combo, but ended up giving up on the 869 for the same reasons. Went with the 210 Berger and Retumbo and have much better consistency/accuracy. I did try H-50BMG and the 240 and I think if I went back to the 240, that's the powder I'd use. I couldn't get the fps out of it like 869, but it has a reputation of being very temp stable. I think there's a few here that use that combo. I think I was at about 2920fps or so with the 240 and 50BMG at about 104 or 105 g (compressed, as I recall). But I was also working with two different lots of 50BMG and can't remember for sure...I think the 104g load was with the slower lot--quite a bit slower as I recall. So I'd start in the low 90's and work your way up probably a grain at a time 'til you see pressure and then back off a couple of grains and fine tune. Good luck and let us know what load you end up with, OK? Jon [/QUOTE]
