Found this load to work in my Mod. 70 sporter 26" -

RL-33 - 74 gr. 3.3 coal Rem 9 1/2M primers 3-shot group of .531 @ 100.

Started at 70 grains and worked my way up. Hard bolt lift starting at 70 but got progressively easier as the load warmed up. No pressure signs (no case bulge, split cases, extractor marks, cratered or backed out primers. Primer pockets still good and tight.

I'll load some more up and try it at longer ranges and see how they hold up. Provided the winds don't get too bad.
