[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 2107379, member: 114381"] 100gr Nosler Ballistic tips. Start at 51gr IMR4350 and work up in 0.3 gr increments until you shoot sub 1/2 MOA groups. The Nosler book is very conservative, and I’ve run that powder up to 53.5 gr in Rem brass without issue - and still been below their published velocity at 51gr. My chamber is also right at SAAMI min, so case capacity is also on the low end. You planning on long range hunting or just shooting? The load above is my groundhog load, from a late 1980’s M700 BDL with a 24” bull barrel. Bullet selection was not based on killing anything bigger than 20 lbs, although the 100 NBT is certainly capable. It’s just to heavy of a gun to be lugging around to shoot deer. [/QUOTE]
