[QUOTE="41mag, post: 81343, member: 3804"] Well I got up to the country this past weekend and did a little shooting. I got in a box of the 130gr Wildcat Bonded cores from Kirby, to give a try on some of the feral hogs in a couple of months. After looking through some of the load data here and there I decided on using RL-25 to start with, with some Ramshot Magnum and Magpro as a last choice. Going through several data sources I came up with a starting point of 51grs for the RL-25. This did not however give me any idea of what the velocity might be. So I loaded up a pair and went to it. The first 2 were just over 2700fps on my Chrony. I bumped it up some more and went through the paces until I got it up to 3128, as a top end for this powder. My normal seating depth for this rifle is 3.250 for the Nosler 100gr BT, and then I generally seat everything else to this set depth. It works out about the same on most of the Nosler bullets, but the AB's I found needed to be seated just a little deeper to group. Anyway, the 130's did a great job of poking nice round holes through the targets at 100 and 300 yds. The rifle is a factory Rem. BDL, with a Fajen laminate stock. The OAL for these loads ended up being 3.300" I am sure that I can more then likely squeeze them back a little more and shrink the group size considerably. I just didn't have the extra time to play with them like I really wanted to. Here are a couple of pics from the targets.(hopefully they will show up) I know they aren't sub MOA groups yet, but they have both proven to have potential. I also found that the faster you drive the 100's the better they fly.
