[QUOTE="SilverbulletMAG, post: 1738433, member: 108181"] Doing this on my phone so apologies if this doesn't show correctly. For reference, these are the loads we settled on with the priority being accuracy out to 400 yards vs top speed or distances beyond that. All 140 grain bullets, all slow 5 shot groups, all done after it was bedded in new stock and installed MCarbo spring kit. Bear in mind the scope he uses is less than stellar (cheap 4-16 bushnell if I recall) so there is room for improvement in the group's beyond 100. IMR 4451, 44.5 grains, 2.260" BTO, F210M primers on all of these, Winchester brass = 2600fps and 3.2" group at 400yds IMR 4350, 45 grains, 2.260" BTO, Starline brass = 2590fps, .260" group at 100yds Big Game, 45.5 grains, 2.258" BTO (Etip), Starline = 2,700fps, 1.8" group at 250 yards Varget, 41 grains, 2.265" BTO, Starline = 2725fps, .366" at 100yds [/QUOTE]
