[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 323879, member: 313"] My ProHunter 209x50 is completely stock with the exception of a Bellum trigger. I experimented with all kinds of powder and many different projectiles. In the end my hunting/accuracy load turned out to be comprised of fairly common components. I use 120gr (equivalent) charges which is actually 85gr weighed of Blackhorn 209. I pre weigh every charge and put the charges in small plastic vials. I use a 250gr Shockwave with the sabot provided. CCI 209 mag primers are used exclusively. 2" groups @ 200 yds are fairly common. I even shot a 3" group at 300yds on one occasion. Bullet drop was significant at that range. Barrel is always left fouled when shooting for group and is never patched between shots like I had to do with 777. This "may" be a good place to start with a 209x50 before pouring tons of $$$$$ into all the fancy bullets and powders that are being advertised. Most of the supplies that I accumulated were given to the range officer after I found the BlackHorn/Shockwave combination. [/QUOTE]
