Those bullets are fine for practice shooting, but I personally wouldn't use them for anything serious. I shoot 185 TSX's at almost 2900 fps, and 210 TSX's at almost 2800 fps. 200 gr Hornadys are going well too. I've also gotten good results with 250 Hornadys at well more than 2500 fps -- kinda like a 35 Whelen... grin.

As far as powder goes, RE 15 is all you need, though I have shot some with IMR 4895.

I like it a lot, and will like it better when I get the stock shortened and thinned.
