[QUOTE="STEEL SLINGER, post: 1434509, member: 42414"] Made it out yesterday and settled on my hunting load. It is going to be the VV N-120 powder @ 30.0 grains. This has been the most consistent, cleanest and accurate powder I have found for this particular barrel/cartridge. T/C Encore MGM 14" bull barrel 445 Super Mag Starline Brass 30.0 grs. VV N-120 powder 315 WLN-GC LBT .431" w/heavy crimp Federal 155 LP primer MV 1644 fps. ES/SD 11/4 (average based off of 85 rounds fired over chronograph) 1.5" groups @ 100 yards. Looking to test at the 200 yard mark next!!! On a side note; In some of the load data I was able to look through, there are some loadings out there that are using Large Rifle primers. I loaded up 25 rounds with the above load using LR primers and found this to be a very poor load. Velocity increased only by about 10 fps. but my ES/SD and group size went to the crapper! I personally feel you should stick with a large pistol magnum primer for this cartridge. [/QUOTE]
