[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 895661, member: 38801"] I've been playing with the new Sierra 130 grain HPBT Gameking and H4350 in a CZ550 FS. First, these bullets are really short with a long bearing surface for being a HPBT so COAL is only 3.022". After looking at multiple load books I started shooting for 55K psi. I think I'm getting close with the 45.5 grain load shooting quite well (hodgdon max [B]45k CUP[/B]) . The 46.5 grain load also shot well. Primer edges are still round but I can definitely tell a difference between it and the 44 grain load. These loads are for my brother who hasn't been bitten by the LR bug. But this bullet's brethren in other calibers have a great reputation despite their relatively poor BC. [/QUOTE]
