[QUOTE="BruinPoint, post: 721536, member: 57948"] I've settled on 120gr TTSXs in my Rem 700 CDL .264 (1-in-9). I was using RL19 and getting right at 3,200 fps and pretty consistent little groups. I killed a buck antelope in WY last year at 202 yds with DRT results but that's my only kill with that combo. Frankly, I was surprised how fast he dropped given the bullet didn't hit any bone so all I'm left with for an explanation is "speed-kills." I had some hang fires in cold weather so now I've moved on to Hodgdon Retumbo and a hotter primer and am getting 3,300 fps easily and safely. Still tweaking some with this combo. I want to try the new LRX's but I didn't have much luck with this rifle and 130+ grain bullets so I don't expect to be pleased. It really likes 100's though, with almost every load combo with lighter bullets shooting 1.5 MOA and most groups even smaller. If I could ever shoot the barrel out of this thing I might get a 1-in-8 twist next time and have it throated for the LRX's.
