[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 527755, member: 505"] Hit on a super good load with the 225 grain CE bullet MD-62. I shot an exceptional group for a light rifle with 86.5 grains IMR-4831. The COAL was 3.765". Velocity was 3143 fps with 8 fps spread in a five shot group. Group was 2.8" at 400 yards which I feel is very good for a 6 pound rifle. I am shooting again in the morning with several loads. I will be on the short range again and expect to have a couple loads to try at longer distances after tommorow. Tinkering with the seating depth and fine adjustment of RE-19 and IMR-4831. I am sure other powders in this burn rate will work well. I hit on some good loads with these and just working them to death for now. I had a good load with H-4350 earlier on and may try it again also. I think anything between RE-19 and RE-22 will work well with the 225 grain bullets. I am sticking with the 225 grain bullet for this rifle and carrying it to Alaska next month for caribou testing.
