[QUOTE="lerch, post: 120025, member: 3115"] I am shooting 101grs of US869, Fed GM215M primer, 169.5ULD loaded about .003 in the lands around 80rnds ago so it may be a little out of the lands now. This is a very hot load so I would recommend something less. I have never choronoed this load so that I would not be tempted to depend on a computer generated drop chart. I figured drops at 300, 600, 650, 800, 935, and 975yds and then plugged that into exbal and used the velocity adjusting feature to get the rest of the drops. I did this because our temps have been varying from 108deg to 65deg and I belive all powders will be temp sensitive in that crap!!! Like i said this is a very hot load and I would think something around 3200-3300 fps would be ideal since it would give you longer case life. I am not worried about these casings since Kirby is gonna re do my rifle in a light weight gun and I am gonna use nosler brass loaded around 3300fps. My current load is around 3500fps as guessed by Exbal. A deer will never know the difference between the loads but it is nice to only need 15moa for a direct hit at 1000yds!!!! Have fun with your gun and dont treat her like a varmint rifle like it did. She will give you years of great preformance take it easy steve [/QUOTE]
