195 Bergers in a 1:9 twist

[jweigel]

Like many of you, I have 180 VLDs shooting very good. The load with the best accuracy in my Factory Sendero is 78 grains of Retumbo.

I am looking at "playing" with the 195 to see if they shoot as accurate as the 180s do for me.

I have Retumbo, RE33 on hand which others have tested.

Can someone give me a starting (middle) charge to work up from.

Do you think this bullet will need its own JUMP test. The 180s above like .050 jump.

Thanks for any advice.
