Does anyone have any loads for 120 and 140 gr bullets with a velocity of 2700

LeeCI use 51 grns of IMR7828, and 58 grains of Magnum for the 140's, drop about 5 grains from this ,and you will be close. 54grns IMR7828, and 61grns Magnum for the 120's again drop about 5 grains , and you will be close. Mine are full power loads so start low, and workup to your ceiling..

DanD50grns of H4831SC under 140grn Sierra MKs gave me close to 3000fps out of my 28inch tube, with a standard barrel of 24 inches you should get 2700 easily. H4831 was also my most accurate load. I also tried 52grns of H1000, velocity was around 2800 and accuracy was not nearly as good.

<OTTO>I'm currently using RL-22 and H4831 with 120gr nosler bts for hunting deer. Long range it gets pluged with 140s.
