[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2486128, member: 122164"] I used one of several actions: A. a Rem short action with a Wyatt's magazine box B. a Rem long action C. Savage long action D. Ruger long action Shilen 14T stabilizes the 80g, Sierra Blitz, at 3800, and this is a Mack Daddy coyote and chuck round! The 75g V max is 3900- 4000 fps on a 26" barrel with Win 760 or AA2700 which greatly extends the barrel life over most other powders. I tried N550 and it is like shooting battery acid for powder as it eats a barrel rapidly, very hot burning powder. We also shot a hot load of H380 on Rock Chucks with 60g Sierra's at 4400 fps, chucks detonated like a paint ball hitting a flat rock, 14T barrels. I shot out two 6/284's in the 80's on Rock Chucks and Coyotes, somewhere in the neighborhood of 56ish grains of IMR 4831 with a Sierra 85g BTHP at 3600. This round also is better on a long action, but a Wyatt's mag box in a Rem 700 gives a guy some latitude in OAL and Mag box length when chasing the lands for accuracy during leader growth. [/QUOTE]
