[QUOTE="Coach Hunt, post: 565928, member: 18430"] Howdy, Hold on Iron Worker. In my rifle, RL17 was a full 150 fps ahead of both RL19 and RL22. My best advice to you is to try it...IF, your not too bummed out by the temperature instability in [I]MY[/I] rifle. Try it! You might like it! Jay, All these are from the top of my head. All info is in the shop and its raining so I'm not going out there for a while. If I'm too far off, I'll re-post a correction later. I use enough H4831SC to get 3105 fps with 140 gr. bullet. That load gives me ES under 25 and SD of about 11 or 12. When I really clean up all my brass to the best of my ability, especially inside the neck polishing with a brass brush and steel wool, the SD goes down to about 8. I have shot consistent 3/4 minute 5 shot groups with this load up to 400 yards. Most of the time I'm in too big a hurry to do this though. Bullet is 140 gr. Accubond or Ballistic tip. I use 63.2 gr. H4831SC with 168 gr. Berger. This is a PRELIMINARY load. So far, 1/2 minute. My rifle is very, VERY, [B]VERY[/B], sensitive to the barrel warming up. Two shots within 5 minutes is about all it will handle as far as grouping goes. I recommend that you let your Mod70 really cool off inbetween shots. I get best accuracy and best ES and SD that way. Hope this helps, and good shooting. Coach [/QUOTE]
