Hello All,
Here is some of the data that I had posted on the old site before the crash. I thought that repeating it here might be useful. These loads were safe in my rifle, but please work up to the max loads to ensure your own safety.
All of the loads were fired through my 20" Lothar Walther Barrel with the CSS chamber.
Chronograph screens 12 ft. from muzzle, all velocities reported from chrono. (not corrected to muzzle velocity)
All loads used Lapua or Hornady Brass and Rem 7.5 primers. The majority of the velocities listed are average of 5 shots.
Listed in descending order of bullet weight

120 NBT - 1930 fps
Trail Boss - 9 gr
120 Sierra Pro Hunter - 1187 Fps (did not cycle action)

GOOD Hunting Loads
120 gr Nosler Ballistic tip with 29 gr of TAC or RL15 - 13 deer
100 gr Barnes TTSX with 30 gr H335 - 1 pronghorn, 4 deer, and 1 coyote
Both of these loads have performed outstanding from 50 to 300+ yards with usually complete penetration and massive damage to the vitals.

I think that about sums up the best of what I had posted on the old forum. I'm glad to see the new forum up and running.
Best,
PA
