m700Sean - after 1400 rounds, have you picked a favorite load or loads? Guy

700 nitroi am using 38 grains of h110 with a winchester larg rifle primer and a 440 grain cast proformance bullet this load clocks 1650 out of my gun and is extremly accutrate and is by far my favorite load.

475/480I cast my own bullets : the light load is a 350 Keith type @ 1600 fps for deer/general and heavy is a 465 WFNGC @ 1600 for pigs/anything both are overkill but

.
465 is LIL GUN -38.0gr @ 1600
350 is H110 -43.0gr @ 1650
This is in the PC 500 Hunter,I get about 60-100 fps less in the SW 500 , Sean
