[QUOTE="Bobby M, post: 390926, member: 24983"] Nice to hear from ya "neighbour". The 500-series has been something of a dilemma, cleaning the rifle thoroughly has proven time consuming since it fouls the barrel a whole lot more than other double based powders. I'm not sure if it is the graphite that produces the fouling or what but it does for sure, been loading a bunch of different bullets in my 308 and I simply got tired of the long cleaning process. It sure gives velocity though but in my opinion I'd go for a much cleaner double based powder such as Norma MRP/RL 22/Rhino 22 but I'll try anything to make it happen. Many thanks for any loading data, vihtavuori lists a starting load at 39,6grs and a max load at 44,1grs behind the 139grs Scenar. Vihtavuoris data has been more than mild before so i bet that you can push the bullet a little harder by adding a grain or two. :rolleyes: There can't be to big of a difference between a-max and SST or can there? I'm pretty sure that a 1-12" barrel stabilizes up to 180grs but porly beyond, since I haven't tried myself I'll let it slide... The red deer you hunt, I'll guess that they are about the same size as the ones we have here. We also have white tails and another type of larger deer in the country but not on my hunting grounds sorry to say. Our hunting season doesn't start until august 16th so that gives me alot of time to work up a really good load. Moose hunting starts in october so that is even further away. Happy hunting! [/QUOTE]
