[QUOTE="whopperstopper, post: 360939, member: 23281"] Hi Edge, I've used the following Bullets 1) TC shockwave 250grn w/ different charges of 5744 powder and IMR 4759 in grains anywhere from 39 to 42 slowly increasing in 1/2 grain increments also used the Hornady SST 250. Biggest problem with both Bullets was getting the **** things down the barrel. Called the sabot place in Alabama? MMP? and tried the 24HP? which made loading alot easier. Grouping wasn't any better at 100yds. The recommendation in the Savage book doesn't work at all, Id sure like to know how they came up with it. Anyhow this all brings me to PRbullett. I started with 180grns/ 40grns 4759( tried both powders in 1/2grn increments and ended up with 40) 1" groups at 150yds which was way better than anything else. Go to 200yds and the pattern was bigger than 12" not vertical but round. Thinking that bullet was getting eratic I tried the 220grn deadcenter not much of a change, went to the 235grn and things got a little tighter around 12" in a round pattern.
