My hunting load in my Featherweight, ( for Deer) is 44 grains of 4064 or IMR 4895, with either the 140 grain Ballistic Tip
or the 139 SP Hornady... Velocity is pretty much right on 2800 fps..
The Ruger 77, pretty much is 40 grains of 3031, with bullet weights from 139s to 175s...
about the only charge the Ruger likes except for some 30 grains of 4198 with 130s to 175s
and 20 to 28 grains of SR 4759, with the lighter bullets, 140 grains and under...
The Ruger is VERY Picky... the Featherweight will shoot ANYTHING real well.
