[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 2074053, member: 34925"] After numerous rounds using different loadings I began last years hunting with what I found best (then), as follows: Petersen/GM215M/100 GN RL26 seated 4.030 (CBTO) for a MV of 3144 fps. All this with a SINGLE SHOT ACTION w/32" Bartlein 1:9.5-1:8 gain twist 338 LMAI (orthodox 40* shoulder). I began my loads at 90 GN, after changing my mind from a 95 GN start. Glad I did as my experience proved [I]Phorwath's[/I] earlier statements. I went up as far as 102 GN RL26, but backed down due wide ES and the temperature was in the 70's maybe higher there in direct sunlight. The most accurate bullet in this rifle thus far has been the 255 GN Flatline, but that bullet is not a hunting bullet; the SuperDozers are. I was amazed that the SDs very nearly equaled the Flatlines in group size and they seem to be consistent. Caution advised; the data is from this specific rifle and based on exactly 90 SDs down the spout. [/QUOTE]
