Bwana, I just noticed your post. It has been a while since you asked, but if you are still interested here goes;

1. The COAL that is working for me is 2.810"

2. I'm using 130gr Nosler Accubond over 44.5 grains of IMR 4350. That is averaging 2895 fps and has resulted in sub 1 inch 3 shot groups out of my Campfire MRC 260. A couple of groups as low as 5/8".

3. I've used this load on 4 or 5 deer so far with good results. All one shot kills. I am very pleased with my MRC and it has become my go to rifle for deer. I like it so much that I bought another MRC in 243 that has become my heavy varmint gun.

Best of luck with yours.
