[QUOTE="liltank, post: 546485, member: 13275"] Simple recipe w/ bullets that will work. 43.0 RL15, 210 federal primer, any brass you choose, 165 sst, SGK 150-180, hornady interbond or interlock, gmx, soft point of polymer tip 150-180, Berger 155-185, Speer deep curl, grand slam, BTSP 150-180. Any of these bullets with the recipe above (you may have to play with primer choice) and seating depth will result in death at 600-800 yds. Doesn't get easier than that. If you don't have or want to use RL15 then go with 42.0 TAC, 42.0 IMR 4064, 43.5 Varget, 41.0 IMR or H4895. Looking at your specimen of powder my guess is IMR 4895.
