Went through quite a few different bullets before I settled on a couple loads that worked (for the most part). Found out my gun likes the 95-100 grain bullets better than the heavier ones and that it doesnt like scenars at all. Still looking for a good hog killing bullet since the 100gr Noslers BTs Im using doesnt seem to be doing the trick all that well, so Im seeing if anyone is interested in doing some trading of bullets nd load data.
The loads Im using now are:
27.7gr 8208 under 95gr Hornady VMax... excellent light skinned round (coyotes and prairie dogs) and the same charge with 100gr Nosler BTs for hog/deer. The 100gr bullet is doing ok, but not producing that shot and drop that I would like, even when I put a good hit on a critter. Would like to find some more solid bullets like the Barnes Tipped TSX 100 grainers or something.
Ive got these if someone wants to trade...
several hundred- 120gr Sierra Matchkings
98- 100gr Lapua Scenars
35- 120gr Barnes TSX
Im shooting an 18" 1-8 twist AR Stoner barrel from Midway, it shoots really well with the loads Ive got worked up, not so good with the bullets Ive got listed. If anyone has some load data and bullets they wanna trade, let me know.
Thanks!
