Float your barrel...

Even if you just shim the action at the lug...allow that barrel to be free from contact...

I have loaded RL-15 under some 250's...the 250 Hornady RN, and 250 Nosler Partition.
(I know, Dennis... I know..,Lol..!)

Although not on your list, the Barnes 225 TSX can also perform quite well. (It opens well even at low velocities on small thin skinned animals)


Charge weights with RL-15 in the mid-upper 50's does well...

...and, if your rifle gets a little finiky with that powder,
another "Classic" is IMR 4320 (mid 50's)

Finally, because I happen to have several pounds on hand, I also have done well with H-4895

I don't know if you have a chronograph or not...

That would be a good thing to leave at home until you find your load...

The temptation is to see velocities print big numbers on the screen...and anybody that has harvested with a 225-280 grain bullet out of the 35's will tell you that they kill beyond expectation.


Enjoy..!



Sincerely,
Scott
