I have found that the Nosler BT & Partitions both group well with RL22 in my rifle. The 95 gr BT are the most accurate and are devastating on coyotes.If I use that rifle on whitetails I switch to the 95 gr partition. Not quite as accurate in my rifle but it puts deer down NOW ! I also found I was getting better groups using std large rifle primers not mag primers. I would also suggest giving RL 25 a try. Hope that helps

A friend had one that he bought to my range to get ready for deer and pronghorns in Wyoming. He shot a 100 grain Hornady flat base bullet using H-4831 and as I recall about 54 grains. (check your book)

Darn thing was like magic....it went bang and things tipped over right now.
