Today I loaded some 200 gr partitions over 59 gr of H4831SC for my spring bear hunt. I did not chrono them, but they shot pretty well. My 5-shot 100 yard groups were a little over an inch, 3 shot groups of about 3/4". This was from 2 different rifles- a M700 classic, and a New Haven M70 classic stainless. I was thinking of also trying RL-17, but I may have already found my load. I like the idea of the 200 gr partition for situations where the game could be large, but the ranges short.
