[QUOTE="therifleman556, post: 1414652, member: 101898"] I'm in the process of working up an accurate load for my 22" M70 Extreme Weather using the 162 grain ELDx. I won't be hunting with it, I just ordered 200 of them because Midway had them on clearance for $19/box and I figured they would do well enough for some plinking out to 500 yards. My question is; what kinds of velocities should I expect from a sporter length barrel? Based on Nosler load data (I like their layout and listing load densities) I'm looking to use RL15 or RL19. I also have Varget and 414 I could work with. RL19 shows the greatest velocity potential, but the test data is for a 26" barrel. That normally wouldn't bother me but it's shown as almost 110% load density. Should I go ahead and work up a load with it, or is that slow of a powder a waste in a sporter length barrel? Any insight is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
