[QUOTE="Lime Dawg, post: 172513, member: 7711"] Having taken the plunge and decided to start reloading (I'm a total reloading novice) I'm looking for advice as to which bullet to use. I have a Cooper Varminter which has a 10 twist barrel in which I've been shooting factory Remington ammo loaded with 90gr Sciroccos. These have proved to be very accurate but hellish expensive. I would like to shoot mainly targets with the bullet I choose but I'd also like to be able to use it for hunting deer sized game. From my research I've chosen 6 possibles which do you think would be best? Berger 88gr LD " 90gr " 95gr VLD (too heavy?) Lapua Scenar 90gr (unreliable expansion?) Sierra Gameking 85gr Swift Scirocco 90gr In an ideal world I'd stick with the Sciroccos but at $47 per hundred they're nearly three times as expensive as the Gamekings. I did try 100gr Partitions but my rifle didn't seem to like them so this is why I've stuck with bullet weights around 90gr. [/QUOTE]
