[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 536818, member: 10291"] A popular and proven starting point would be 51.5gr of H4831sc, Fed Match Primers. Your variables will be fine tuning powder weight and bullet seating depth. Try seating depths initially from, at the lands to .10 out, in .025 increments. Watch your pressure signs when close to the lands. Another good combo is 57-59gr of Retumbo with Fed 215 primers. I would also try the 140gr Bergers. Both my rifles shoot these exceptionally well with 59 gr of Retumbo, 215 Fed primers, and the bullet seated .075 out of the lands, I get velocities in the 2950-2975 range and sub .5moa groups. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
