[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1074895, member: 61747"] 4831 is a good choice but you are close to minimum levels. I was using, like others, 53 grains with Berger target vlds. They had a short bearing surface and higher velocity than then the hunting vld. Keep that in mind when looking at different bullets and the intended useage. Retumbo and 1000 do produce higher velocities and with the longer barrel you will be utilizing the characteristics of the powder better. My current barrel is 28.5". I shoot a light load of Retumbo at 56.6 grains with a 215m and see 3070. With 56.5 and a 210 I see 3045. If you choose to stick with 4831 you should easily see 2900 and like close to 2950. Good luck.
