[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 1407118, member: 52763"] I got excellent groups with the 75 grain A-Max bullets, but had only 2 boxes of them. I was going to order 5 more boxes, but discovered Hornady no longer made them. So now they have the22 caliber 75 grain ELD & the 75 grain ELD-X which is more expensive, but since I'm not a hunter I plan on buying 500 of the ELDs, on sale I hope. I've had good luck w/H414 & Dupont 4350, but recently switched over to H4350 only because it measures better. I have 100 rounds of it loaded when weather gets better. I have high hopes for it. The only Hodgon powder I've loaded & didn't have above average results with was H380. It was probably because I used it only when shooting the original Savage barrel. Nothing I shot thru it impressed me much. It was a depressing 2 years. The new Shilen barrel shot great from day one & my depression has disappeared.:-) I have about 1000 rounds of Sierra bullets from years past & I'm looking forward to see if they shoot as good as they did out of my 788 Remington.
