[QUOTE="H-BAR, post: 26919, member: 1281"] Stitch the IMR 4831 is too fast for the 100gr It does shoot well with the 85gr noslers and the 87gr TNTs. Even though the TNTs shot good their expansion performance leaves a lot to be desired. Some of my woes may have been the moly coating I used. It does not allow the rifling to etch the bullet as much causing less expansion. Re22 will work fine for the 100gr bullets. In reflection I noticed you said you tried the Sierras. The ones I bought when they first came out would not fly for me either. This was when I learned to inspect bullets because the quality of these bullets were in the catagory of junk!!! They had eccentricity not concentricity. If you must shoot 100gr bullets then shoot the Noslers. I haven't ever gotten bad Noslers. The Bergers are awesome too. I didn't have my new rifle for shooting at Williamsport so I shot my Ruger in 25-06 which is usually my woodchuck rig and it shot 10.4 inchees at 1000yds. I know that is not spectacular but I didn't think it was bad for a stock Ruger target/varmint with the only mod being a KDF break.
