[QUOTE="Blwebster, post: 1012600, member: 82312"] I used 47 grains of H4831 with the 162 grain Amax for everything since they first came out. (Am recently trying cfe223 with amax 155 and the 168 grainers in the .308 now.) Before that for shooting wolves, i used to use the 7x57 all the time at shorter ranges, under 350 yards, so tended to use the lighter Sierra or Hornady match or varmint bullets which were very frangible, i really liked the 120 grain hornady spitzer with 54 grains win 760 and Sierra spitzers with 44 grains of imr 4064 as well. For big game like elk and moose, i used the 180 grain round nose for hunting areas where shots were going to be under200 yards. The further ranges used nosler 160gr partitions and 160 grain Speer spbt. Like i said though, i have used the amax 162 grain since as well as theround nose hdys 175 hornady loaded so it was dead on at 100 with the 162 amax shooting 3 inches high without having to touch the scope. For timber i just chambered the heavyonesand when inalpine/subalpine areas with longershots those 162 amax with carefully placedshots worked well. [/QUOTE]
