[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 863946, member: 2693"] For what you are wanting to do I recommend the 140 VLD, either Berger, JLK, or Hornady. I'm going to be in South Carolina the first week of November and my primary test loads for that week are using a 130 Nosler Accubond. I'm hoping to get satisfactory accuracy/precision with Re19 as many references show it provides top velocities, and it is more temp stable than Re22. My brother said a very long shot on his club is 300 yards so I'm hoping for 3" groups at that distance or less and I will call it a day, stuff about 30-40 brass that way and go hunting. I'm still working on the 140 VLD too though but may stop unless I get around 2900fps with my current barrel along with acceptable accuracy. I'm seriously considering sending the barreled action to Bartlein and having them rebarrel with the contour I described earlier. I'd like to go back and revisit H1000 and Retumbo as well as Magnum powders but I now know that is a waste of time with my 24" tube. [/QUOTE]
