I'm working on a final WT deer load for my .240 and want to throw out some variables for consideration.
The gun, an HS Precision SPL is a guaranteed 1/2" rifle and performs at that level with several loads. These include the 80 gr. TTSX, 85 gr. NPT, 90 gr. Scenar, the latter grouping .33". These are traveling at around 3,300-3,600 fps.
I was having trouble getting 95 gr. and 100 gr. NPT's to group. I finally found a 1/2" load for the 100 NPT and it's moving at 3,250 fps. I like the idea of slightly less velocity and more bullet mass for my usage.
I'm sorta torn between the 90 gr. Scenar with it's stellar accuracy and the 100 gr. NPT with it's known performance on game. My shooting is generally under 400 yds., WT deer, Pronghorns and hogs are my targets.
I would appreciate opinions and suggestions.
