[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 527995, member: 505"] Shot a few loads this morning with the 225 CE bullet. This is what I am carrying to Alaska for sure. The 185 ttsx is good but the bc of the 225 CE is just to great of an advantage. Seated the bullet out to 3.85 with 85.2 grains of H-4350 and shot a 2.1" group at 400 yards. The velocity was impressive at 3140, 3141, and 3143 fps on the three shot group. That was the best of the day. After talking to cutting edge I am going out further with my seating depth and trying that this evening with the 4831 and re-19 loads. Best accuracy with these powders seem to be in that 85-86.5 grain range with all the velocities around 3130-3150 fps with best accuracy. Rifles vary but with the 24" barrel tikka this is where I am getting best results. Once I get over 3160 fps groups start to open with this rifle. I am confident on caribou to 800 yards right now with this rifle but still tinkering as we all do. [/QUOTE]
