54.5gr. IMR 4064 was my go to load with 225gr. Sierra Game King and Nosler Balllistic Tip. I recently tried Ken Waters load of 55gr. IMR 3031 with a Hornady 200gr. RN and found it to give excellent accuracy, I used it to take a whitetail this fall. A quartering shot at 100yds. the recovered bullet weighed 122gr. and was perfectly mushroomed. This will be my go to load for whitetails from now on.
