Ive been playing for about 2 months with three of them. Weatherby, Savage and Ruger.
All shot amazing but my standards are higher than most or the BS,,, you see on You-Tube.
People say H4350 is best for most bullets but I highly disagree. Most you watch on YouTube is half crazy and never show the groups and just say,,,, it shoots great.
I spent many hours and money on playing with these rifles and settle for nothing under .250 at 100 to 200 yards,,, with three shots.
41 to 42.3 grains of N160 and the 143 ELD-X is the ticket.
43.8 to 44.7 grains of R17 and the 120 SMK is also great. ( .200 but falls off faster or gets erratic, past 650 yards )
Fed 210M primer , horn or Nosler cases prepped to the T and bullets seated to barely fit the mag,,, works very well. 143 seated to 2.809 and the 120 to 2.800 worked best for me.
The top charges that I listed, done best but DONT DO IT. They are MAX and THEN SOME. R17 is in books but the N160 is my picking the brain ,, Powder.
If someone finds data for the N160,, let me know. Its no speed demon by far and maxed out, for pressure signs at 43.2 in all three rifles and two differ brands of cases. Very accurate but don't picture visions of 2710 FPS. The 43.2 sucked and was just seeing how far I could go,,,, for pressure signs.
For the 120 SMK, it amazed me with R17. Im nocking on the back door of 3000 and 44.7 gave me 2977 and the average FPS got better. Im down to 4.5 FPS for the average of 4 shots,,,, OUT OF A CLEAN BARREL.
JUST MY INFO AND DO NOT START HIGH ON THE CHARGES.
