[QUOTE="RiverRat, post: 27587, member: 637"] Kind of surprised that RL-19 didn't work too well with the 120 MK. I know of two other rifles besides mine that likes that powder bullet combination. I have looked in the 5th edition of the Sierra manual, and of the powders you have Varget is the only other powder that you haven't tried that they list loads for with the 120 MK. 120 Match King Rem. Brass Rem. 9 1/2 primer Varget starting load: 34.0 gr.= 2600 fps Varget maximum load: 40.4 gr.= 2900 fps Hope this helps, you might try different seating depth changes as well. Sierra tech support has told me that the 120 MK doesn't mind jumping to the rifling so you might try that as well. If not you might try the 123 gr. Laupa Scenar. It has a lot better B.C. than the Sierra. [/QUOTE]
