[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2958666, member: 122164"] You may want to try some R#19 with a Fed 215 Primer with the 85. I am at 44.5g at 3400 fps in my worn 26" 243 with a 9 1/4" twist, and [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]please work up to that load[/COLOR][/B]. I shoot the same load with the 85g Barnes TSX for some amazing deer kills, jumping the bullet .050 from the lands. R#19, throat dimensions vary, so work up to the load that I shoot in Win brass only which has the largest case capacity of the brands I have tested. The 85g Speer bt is a very accurate bullet with this load, and the 85g Speer btsp is a deer bullet, NOT a varmint bullet with a very good BC. I mention this because the 85g Sierra bthp is almost impossible to find, like many sierra bullets. The 85g Sierra flat base is available now which is tougher than the Sierra BTHP. [/QUOTE]
