[QUOTE="IdahoJoe, post: 1113472, member: 23980"] I have been shooting 140 Nosler AB with 58 grains retumbo and fed 210. I am getting sub moa groups out of it at 3000+ fps (26 inch barreled cooper) but it feels like the pressure is high enough for me. The sierra 140 match kings I shot a 5 shot group I could cover with a dime at 200 yrds (which involved a large degree of luck I am sure) but the noslers stay around .8 MOA or so. I haven't tried the 142 LR accubonds yet but there is a box sitting on my shelf. My gun has a 1:9 twist so I am not sure how they will do. So the question I have for the experts should I try the 215 primer? If so how much should I reduce the load if that is all I am changing. Also should I try a different bullets. My father in law claims the MK are fine for deer but I am a terminal ballistics snob of sorts and not willing to hunt with that bullet. I would like to stay at 140 or 142 grain hunting bullet. I have played with bergers but guess I never got the seating depth right to get good groups. [/QUOTE]
