[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 812428, member: 12995"] I've had mine for 11 years, during the major downswing of the caliber's popularity...I didn't shoot it much b/c back then ammo got hard to find before Nosler started producing factory loads, and it was hard to find the Federal 160 Gameking factory loads, then the Federal Premium 160 Accubond factory loads got the ax, too. So I had only 1 choice....Handloading. It has been an excellent rifle, and the spur of many a conversation when at the range discussing the caliber. RL-22 will work. I have a good load with 22 and NAB 160's. I tried the 180 VLD's with RL22 and mine didn't care for it so much...However, every rifle is different. Mine loves the Berger 180 VLD's with H1000. I have lots of 19 & 22 sitting around that will probably last me forever since all my magnums love H1000. I have developed loads for all of them with 19 & 22 incase I have to use it during a "dry spell" like what happened after the Newtown incident. I also learned to stock up on primers and projectiles, too. If gou want some Berger 168, 180, or Nosler AccuBond 160 loads to try, holler at me and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction.
