[QUOTE="trebark, post: 653201, member: 19172"] Pretty much all the load data I have is on my 280 thread. I tried shooting various 140 and 150 grain bullets with various success. Once I found the 168vld, it's the only bullet I shoot in the rifle. Pushing the 168 ~2800fps, it's capable of killing deer at 1000yards. The rifle isn't really set up to shoot that far, but it's nice to know it at least has the juice to do it. As I said earlier, the primary purpose for this rifle is as a carry rifle for deer. So really the 168 isn't necessary as the rifle will primary engage deer at 200yards or less. (shot a deer at 20 yards this past year. it was like the deer was hit by a sledgehammer!) Here's a good online resource for load data: [url=http://stevespages.com/284_1.html]284_1[/url] [/QUOTE]
