tarbeFavorite Light Load: 40gr H380 with a 40gr V-max moly in WW with CCI 250. Brass lasts forever and in my bone stock M700 VS it goes 1/2". Plenty good P-dog load...

Bill AdamsGo to
www.centerfirecentral.com ...find "pet loads", you'll find a bunch for 220. Also look at accuratereloading book on this site, bunch more stuff. BA

Bill AdamsShould have said Reloading pages, instead of accuratereloading book. BA

McCrayI fell into this load and haven't tried many others. It isn't real hot and works great on coyotes.
Remington Brass
38.5 grains IMR-4064
Federal primer
Whatever 50 grain bullet is handy. Usually Sierra #1330 or Ballistic Tip.
Produces 1/2 inch groups from my 700 Classic.
Good luck, Joe.

<jacon>Any body work up a load using VTN150 of Accurate 2700 using Nosler 50 gr BTs? Looking to build a new rockchuck load to use this spring!

<Chuck66>I have found that for speed combined with accuracy that IMR 4064 works best for my 220.
I have two pages of data and I have found that for Praire Dogs that I like NBT 55gr. Molly Coated with 40.5gr of 4064 @ 4025 fps with .20 (5)shot groups (using fed match primers 210M). TAKE HEED THIS IS A VERY HOT LOAD YOU SHOULD START 36GR. AND WORK UP TILL YOU GET PRESSURE. I have blown primers at 41gr. on brass that had been loaded twice.
But shot a 5 shot group of .018 with "New Brass" at that load! at a speed of 4060fps.
