[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1688526, member: 13632"] I use Norma brass, for the 140+ grain bullets I had great results with Retumbo, the 110 TTSX I used R17 but that was before some of the newest reloader powders. Generally I like Fed 210 primers but you may load a few and see what it likes, I found that they can have a definite preference. Many of the vanguard's have a pressure point in the forend, you may try removing that. The 110TTSX is made for kids or recoils sensitive people, I ran them from a 26 inch barrel at 3600 fps, I would have no issues with an elk at 500 with one behind the shoulder and be ready to punch them again if they give you the opportunity to. I would strongly advise to look at Hammer bullets, the 117 would be the ticket, it they don't shoot you can move on to another rifle or rebarrel IMO. Personally I run a faster twist barrel and shoot the 170 Berger in the 3000 fps range but that's for hammering elk at distance and set up brakes and prone. [/QUOTE]
