In this gun I'm shooting WW brass and Remington 7-1/2 primers .. because the firing pin hole is sloppy and the 7-1/2s are tougher than WW and Federal which gave me problems with primer piercing. Both 32 grain bullets shoot best in my gun with 28 grains of H335. All 3 39s/40s I've used all shoot best with 27 or 27.5 (I'm at work, don't have my load notes handy) of Varget. The 45s get 26.5 or 26.7 or something like that grains of Varget.

Right now most of my ammo is loaded with the 40 grain Hornady in hopes of an eastern Oregon coyote safari assuming some wind. The 39 grain Sierra is a hair more accurate but seemingly lower BC and a bit less explosive. Likewise, the 32 grain Nosler seems a hair more accurate than the Hornady but the Hornady has even more splat than the Nosler .. which is already pretty darn impressive.
