[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 345028, member: 1039"] If you can find them... [B][U] Primers[/U][/B] CCI250- I've been looking for these for a couple of months Remington 91/2M (I picked a box of 1,000 up at Bass Pro the other day. I was amazed to find them and it was the only box) Whatever someone else recommends [U][COLOR=black][B]ANYTHING[/B][/COLOR][/U] you can get your hands on :) The rifle won't go bang without them. [B][U]Powder[/U] [/B][B] The Sierra manual says:[/B] MagPro for accuracy IMR-4831 for hunting (SMK's are not recommended for hunting) Both are loaded for 3,000 fps. I assume that the difference is SMK vs SBT and HPBT bullets. [B]other choices are:[/B] H1000 (good powder for the big magnums) RE-22 (good powder for the big magnums) H4831-SC Viht N165 There's more but those are the powders that I've used If you don't have a local outlet for powder, Powder Valley is a decent source for online ordering. You have to pay a Hazmat fee for powder and primer shipments so it's not necessarily the cheapest way to go PS- Berger VLD's are great bullets. Check them out. Sometimes Bass Pro or Cabela's has them. Look for the "pretty" bright orange box. [/QUOTE]
