[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1358810, member: 87243"] I ended up going back to the 140 Bergers with RL-26. After a couple humdred rounds with the 147's, I just wasnt seeing the consistency I get with the bergers. Too bad, that bc is fantastic. My current load is: 140 VLD Lapua brass CCI BR-2 primer 49.1 grains RL-26 2.900" OAL 3090 fps I got them up to 3170 fps....that is where i saw max pressure. I ran them at 3115 for a while, then backed down to 3090 because they have a little lower e.s. and are stupid accurate. This year, that load accounted for 5 antelope and a 6 point bull elk, ranging from 340 yards to my 6 point elk, at 715. All of them were 1 shot kills....it's like a shoulder fired lightning bolt. Love it.... [/QUOTE]
