morning, I shoot the 110 Accu-bond, 80grs ramshot, 215's and
norma brass, one hole justme gbot tum
norma brass, one hole justme gbot tum
I have an aquatints that has one of these but don't know what powder he is using. One thing I do know is you have picked the right bullets. He could not get any of the cup and core bullets to hold together for him they just slung themselves apart. The 100 tsx is what he ended up using. Killed deer so far across a bean field I could not believe it.

Contact Steve at Hammer Bullets. He usually has load data using their bullets. Should be exactly what you are looking for. I have not personally used any yet but as soon as my rifle is done it will be getting a steady diet of Hammer pills.
