This load might be way too hot in other rifles. Work all loads up. Who knows what lot of powder you and I have or what our bore diameters etc are like.

120 gr Hornady V Max 71.0 grs RL 22 Fed 215M.
3521 fps. Extreme spread 7 fps.
In a Win M 70 Classic this load shot .63" at 100 yds and 1.03" at 200 yds with some wind. The 120 7mm V MAX has a Ci of .375.

The temperature today was 82F and I kept the ammo out of the sun. Extraction and all other signs were ok but it's a hot load. This is the second time that the load made this same velocity.

Nice load Sav. Most loaders Ive read are suggesting against the use of Mag primers in our WSMs. In my 300 I had the best luck with CCI250s and RL-19 for the light pills....125 to 140 grains. How far off of the lands are you starting that Vmax? Id bet that a couple less grains of the Rl-22 under a 139IB would be some powerful deer medicine.
