Thanks again to all,I was aware that much like handloading for centerfires,different rifles have different preferences for loads.So, if I might summarize all the feedback, I've got a pretty good shooter unless by some rare coincidence,the Fed's that I had on hand just happened to be the"magic bullet" for this rifle! Thanks Again for all of the responses! memtb

You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
