I've been playing with 140 bt's for a while and I have a box of 180gr VLD's I'd like to start playing with . I have a can of H1000 I would like to use but if need be I can buy something else. Does anybody have any go to loads for the 180's ?

FYI I'm shooting a savage with a 26 inch barrel and a 1-9.5 twist. I know the twist is a little slow but heck with it I'll try it anyway bullets ain't going to shoot themselves.

I like to use the 50 bmg(I5010, rl50, aa8700, wc872) powders with 171-175 grain pills; 180's would be no different. I have used rl25 and retumbo also. Hodgdon shows a top of 74.5 grains with h1000 and the berger 180.
