My loads....

3/4 inch groops @ 100yds

117 gr Horn btsp
Imr7828 47.5 gr. fed 210 seat 2.900 o.a.l

Old school 117 Semi-spitz Noslers
Same as the above load
1/2 inch lower impact at 100 yds but shoots just as good
Have not chronoed these, probably won't.
Leaves exit holes in deer like the exit shown in the side of the elk earlier.

Loads have all dropped 'literally' deer and coyote. Other than the bear, who only made it 10 or so feet with the 117 btsp horn, no tracking has been needed.

I blame the easy shootability of the rifle allowing anyone to make very lethal and effective shots
