All these loads are good in my Ruger M-77 tang safety with 22" barrel. Your results may vary. All are in R-P brass. All shoot into 1 MOA or less. Bolt actions only. Approach these loads with proper care.

140gr BT, 57.0gr RL-19, CCI-200, 3.333" OAL, 2852fps. Killed lots of deer and antelope with this load until I got a chrono and was surprised by the moderate velocity.

160gr Nos Partition, 56.0gr IMR-4831, CCI-200, 3.321" OAL, 2848fps. Excellent and proficient slayer of elk, large deer, goats, hogs, and such. Will quickly dispatch any North American game except the large bears.

140gr BT, 58.5gr RL-19, Rem 9-1/2, 3.330" OAL, 3025fps. Right at max load in warmer weather. Fantastic load for deer, antelope, goats, and such.

140gr BT, 56.0gr Hunter, Rem 9-1/2, 3.330" OAL, 2949fps. Right at max load.

140gr BT, 57.0gr Superformance, Rem 9-1/2, 3.330" OAL, 2951fps. Max load in Hodgdon manual.

140gr Combined Technology (CT) BT, 58.5gr H4831SC, WLR, 3.330" OAL, 2851fps.

140gr CT BT, 56.5gr Hunter, Rem 9-1/2, 3.330" OAL, 2962fps. Just a little below max.

140gr CT BT, 59.0gr H4831SC, WLR, 3.330" OAL, haven't chrono'd this yet. Have tried this with 59.5gr H4831SC and think this is right at max in this rifle.

154gr Hornady Interbond, 57.0gr Winchester Magnum Rifle (WMR), Fed 215, 3.330" OAL, haven't chrono'd yet. Great performance on a 300+lb northern Missouri whitetail this year.

140gr Sierra flat base Pro-Hunter, 57.0gr RL-19, CCI-200, haven't chrono'd, but ungodly accurate.

Hope these help.
