[QUOTE="gilbertc, post: 854644, member: 71565"] Thanks for the info guys I will start as close as I can to land and work back to hopefully find accuracy. I would like that bullet to work with high BC and good results from bergers in other rifles. However after shooting a ladder test at 500 yards today I have another good option. I started load development with a swift siricco 100 grain that I picked up and just ran with standard book OAL that should be a good option at short to medium ranges, maybe further. At 500 yards my charges of 76.7, 77.0, and 77.3 of RL-25 were within 2.5" vertically, (these charges are over any book max and should be worked up to in your rifle they re safe in mine only) I have some horizontal to work out with seating depth hopefully and wind was starting to gust a little. My charge of 77.0 had just under half inch of vertical spread between two rounds of ladder tested, I didn't make it through third as wind came up so I stopped. This looks promising and I will probably use this for antelope season two weeks from now unless I get time to work on berger load, hopefully I get it done by third deer season. I will post updates to what I find when wind quits blowing and I can shoot some more! [/QUOTE]
