[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 1121480, member: 10391"] I fooled with the 215's last season. Pre 64 Model 70 26"Brux barrel. Ended up with 50.8 of Reloader 17 with a proven velocity right at 2600fps. Took a bull with that load near 400 yards and was not thrilled with the performance of that bullet in the 06 so this season I'm working up a load using the 210gr hunting. This load is Reloader 17 at 53.2 grains which is a warm load with a little primer flatting but quite accurate. Being it is the old Model 70 with the short magazine I just stick with the 3.340 COL and just fiddle with the powder. I took this load out to 450 yards yesterday (3"group) and will shoot to 800 today. With a 200 yard zero and using a chronograph output of 2675fps the impact group at 450 was 1/2 MOA high. To adjust the come-ups I increased the velocity and now it is around 2700fps. Today at 800 will see if that velocity is right or not using the new come-up's. One more thing. Two seasons ago took a cow elk using the 190gr Berger at 489 yards and one shot dropped her like a rock. The load is 53.5gr Reloader 17 at 2760fps proven. As you can see I like Reloader 17 in the 06 and I do all of my work-up's in the spring or like now in the fall when the temps are similar to hunting conditions so I don't worry about temp swings with this powder.
