I'd recommend 125 gr. Nosler BTs with 53-58 grs. of Varget (see Nosler reloading manual). | |||

220GR RN's should do the job nicely!  I use a 130 to 150gr on yotes with my 1903A3 to help get closer to the rifling speed/bullet weight design of the rifle.Thats when I m not shooting my own cast bullets Disabled Vet(non-combat) - US Army NRA LIFE MEMBER Hunter, trapper, machinest, gamer, angler, and all around do it your selfer.

Sierra 110 gr.HP's are surprisingly accurate and at around 3200 fps will really blow up a prairie dog. | |||

you can pump a 110 grain up to 3500 fps... the 125 Speer TNT is also a great bullet if you want to explode a varmint or two..at say 3300 fps...

Hey Dennis, A buddy and I went to a Gun Show up in Greensborough, NC and he spotted some generic 110gr RN 30cal bullets on a table. I feel sure they were intended for a 30Carbine, but he was thinking about using them for Ground Hogs in WVA. He thought about it for awhile and got some for $4/100(a long time ago). He found a load for them in one of his Manuals for use in his 30-06 using (maybe) IMR-4064. About the 3rd or 4th Load they tightened right up into a nice small group. They had to jump a long way to reach the Lands, but they worked fine in his Blue & Wood 30-06 Howa. And they Killed a lot of G-Hogs. Best of luck to you. | |||
