[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2067421, member: 60453"] I know they'll be adequate. I use 200 grain in Speer and Sierra in my -06's and they will shoot just fine. I generally use IMR 4350, but I found some data on Superformance, too, and have several pounds of that on hand, so I'm experimenting with it. Velocities for both powders are hovering around 2575fps or so from 22" tubes. There are several powders which will work, though. Email Speer and they'll give you data for their bullet. You can then use their data to work up a good load for the Sierra, Nosler or Hornaday 200 grain bullets in the future, and the Nosler Partitions you have available now. RL 26 is a good listed powder in Speer's manual, but has been hard to find all year. I've been able to find Superformance pretty much here in Colorado, so I've been using and experimenting with it as an alternate for IMR4831 and 4350. If you can find it, start at around 53.5gr. and work up CAREFULLY, watching for pressure signs. Keep in mind that it isn't recommended by Hodgden for 200 grain bullets. I found load data for it with the Federal 200 grain bullet in Handloader's edition of August, 2020 for the -06. I loaded 1 grain below the listed load, and got very good accuracy from my 22" Ruger.
