[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2554320, member: 109862"] 120 haha. Real light. I’ve posted about this load on other threads but it’s a 120 grain Barnes Tac-tx (originally a .300 blackout bullet) over 89.5 grains (not a typo, it’s a dense ball powder lightly compressed in there) of superformance and a fed 215M in Peterson brass. Bullet and bore of the rifle are hex boron nitride treated. Chronographed average velocity of 4050 feet per second. Probably a tad overpressure but no ejector marks, difficult bolt lift, case stretch, primer pocket blown, or notable web expansion according to the micrometer. But that’s 4370 foot pounds out of a 120 grain bullet. It is an off switch. It shoots flatter than factory .257 wby ammo for crying out loud (as in point blank range) and hits much harder. Savage 111 long range hunter, 26” barrel. [/QUOTE]
