What barrel do you have ? Twistrate ?
I use a Lothar Wather 1/10
Iam sorry. I didnt see that you were using Nosler's when I posted before.
My rifle is a Sako 75
25 5/8" barrel
1:11 twist
I am green with envy at you barrel selection. Folks are talking about L/W barrels in very high regard!!
It's not one of Jeff Hicks rigs is it?? HD rifles??..sakofan..

sakofanI just got back from the range. Shot some Sierra Game Kings, 180gr. using H1000, Fed. primers, and great results.
3 shot group was about was sub moa..
I know Iam the exception, but I cant seem to wring the accuracy from the RL22. And I have tried!! Great velocity though. And it still shoots about 1" at 100 yds....sakofan...

My rifle is my own composition, mounted by a local gunsmith.Barell is "heavy varmint match" type. Right now i am looking for Nosler Accubond/Bal.Tip-loads (180grs).
Btw: If i had enough cash i would have bought a Sako TRG 42 in 338LM 
. That is a rig that kick's like a mule 
I must admit that i am a Sako-fan too 
I've tried IMR4831 & 4350, and RL22 with Fed 215, WLRM, and CCI 250 primers in my M70 classic. Most accurate combination (sub-MOA) in my rifle was a 2960 fps load with IMR 4350 and WLRM primers with bullets seated about 0.0030 off the lands. A dime nicely covered my best 100-yard group of 7 shots (why 7 and not 4 or 6 or 8 I can't recall). Cases were Remington, fire-formed in my rifle.
But just about every combination I tried shot pretty darn well and I didn't fiddle with seating length with all of the combinations.
Good luck. -WSJ
