[QUOTE="260shooter, post: 448093, member: 2988"] I shoot an 8 twist 16" barrel and after some testing and some number crunching have developed 2 loads for this rifle. It has a Premier Reticule Leupold scope set up with dots for 200, 300, 400, 450, 500 yards. The first scope which the scope was built for is a molyed 69 gr Sierra at 2800fps and the second is a molyed 55 gr Ballistic Tip at 3000 fps . Both work with the recticule in the scope. Wind pushes the 55 around more but is a better killing bullet. Longest coyote with this rifle is with the 55 at 540 yards. I use VN N-135 with the molyed B-Tip in LC cases and REM 7.5 primer. For bare bullets I would start at 24 gr and move up about .3 at a time till you get a good load. 260 [/QUOTE]
