[QUOTE="jtkratzer, post: 689764, member: 40885"] First off, 2.785" is waaaay too short for the 140 grain bullets. You're seating way too deep and eating up space that could be used for powder and it's costing you velocity. That loss of velocity is going to eat up a and probably more gain than you'd get by using the higher BC 140s. If your chamber and magazine allow it, seat those 140s out further. I'm seating to 2.800" OAL with 129 gr bullets. I haven't used H4350 yet, but it's on my to do list. I was also disappointed with H4831sc and got my best velocity and accuracy with RL22. I have a Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter in 260 coming my way and I'm interested to see what it will do with a 24" 1:8 twist tube compared to my pencil 20" 1:9 model seven barrel. [/QUOTE]
