I have some loaded and I'm trying to see what others are loading. Hornady's load sheet does not include a lot of powders most people will be have/use, such as IMR4064, IMR3031, or Varget. I've got my own loads ready for shooting with Varget in my Winchester 94 (I have a side-mounted scope). "The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's." Mark Twain | ||

I messed with these a little, good bullets. the factory loads were good too. 36.0 grs of BL-C2 gave me AV of ~2300 and 1.5" grps, a little warm. I settled on 30.0 grs of H-335 at ~2150 and 1.25" grps @ 100 yds. Thought they might kick a little less for my youngest grandson. My oldest grandson took his 1st and 2nd Whitetail with th factory loaded stuff 2 years ago. Myself I think I'll stick with 170 FPs, that's just me.  All alone I came into this world All alone I will someday die Solid stone is just sand and water, baby Sand and water, and a million years gone by | |||
