[QUOTE="RiverRat, post: 27585, member: 637"] Try RL-19 with a Federal 210 M primer. If you have a new edition of the Sierra Manual use that for reference. Also the Nosler manaul lists RL-19 as the most accurate powder they tested with the 120 gr. BT and the 125 Partition. Try the 120 MK at .003 to .005 off the lands. In my rifle it is too long to work through the magazine but shoots in the .3's. I just developed a load for another shooter to hunt deer with using the 120 Sierra Pro Hunter. It shot very well at 2912 avg. fps. from his 23" barrel using RL-19. I have also used IMR 4064 with this bullet. It's not quite as accurate as RL-19 but still sub MOA the velocity averages 2993 fps out my 24" tube. Currently I am working on a load for my 260 long range rifle using the Lapua 123 gr. Scenar. (B.C. of .547) I am using RL-19 with it as well. At 46.9 gr. it is averageing 2951 fps with std. dev. consistently in the single digits. Still tweaking bullet seating depth as it is double grouping right now in the mid .5's. Hope this helps some. Welcome aboard, glad to see you made it over from Accurate Reloading.
