I just obtained a 10" 6.5 TCU Contender barrel. I have a lot of 95 gr. Hornady V-Max and Sierra 85gr bullets. I need some personal favorite loads. I am also interested in your best 100 or 120 gr. load. Thanks for your help. | ||

IMR 3031 is a good all around powder for all three bullet weights you have mentioned. Sierra 85 HP Starting load of 25.5 grains IMR 3031 Max load of 27.0 grains IMR 3031 Velocity 2250 fps to 2450 fps Hornady 95 V-Max and any other 100 grain bullets Starting Load of 24.3 grains IMR 3031 Max load of 26.3 grains Velocity 2050 fps to 2300 fps Sierra 120 Spitzer Starting Load 22.8 grains IMR 3031 Max load 24.8 grains IMR 3031 Velocity 1850 fps to 2100 fps These loads were developed through a 14" barrel 1:8 twist. Since your barrel is only 10" you might see about a 100 fps loss for all loads listed. Happy shooting. | |||
