[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2881459, member: 100742"] If you are asking me to share my load information with you , I'm happy to tell you what I use. This is not a recommendation in any way, that YOU use this load in YOUR rifle. I use matched Win Cases , separated by weight, Ex;186.0 to 186.4 grns or 186.5 to 186.9 grns . after Trimming and all neck prep. 59.5 grns of IMR 4831SC, 130 Grn Nosler Ballistic Tips, and Win LR Primers. COAL is not very precise.as I find I can get as much as 5/1000th difference due to the deformation of the tips. 3..340 to 3.345 is a Ball Park, OGIVE 2.797 to 2.799 works pretty good and feeds well in the internal magazine. Today I shot several rounds 2.803 to 2.805. As this is a Hunting Load, in a Hunting Rifle, I like to have one round in the chamber, and two in the magazine. I expect this load produces 3000/3050 fps Muzz. Velocity from the 24 inch Bbl. I use 3000 fps for the math on the JBM Ballistic App. With a 100 yard Zero, I have 1 inch of drop at 150 yards and 3inches of drop at 200 yards and 6 inches (or 2MOA) or drop at 250 yards, and 11 inches ( or 3MOA ) of drop at 300 yards.
