DeerHunter61,

Sorry to bump an older thread of yours but I'd be curious for an update. What bullets have you found the best groups with? What was your final hunting load?

Here is the load along with the three groups I shot with it....

Bullet Weight (Gr.) Manufacturer Powder Grains Primers Group 2nd Group 3rd Group
140 GR. Hornady SP* Hodgdon* Varget* 36.0 Federal Match 210 0.90 1.06 1.07

DeerHunter61,

Thanks for the update. Have you chronographed these loads?

No I have not...I do not own one. I guess if I hunted where I had a LONG shot I might consider going to purchase one to find out what it is but since I only shoot out to around 200-250 yards I simply do not believe it will make much difference.
