I tried a few powders with it but haven't taken game with it yet.

I had excessive pressure issues using Rel 22 so moved to some standby powders that work well around this bullet weight with the best being 65gn of H 4350 which yielded 3188fps and around .9 MOA from my Model 70 with 26" barrel using Fed 215 primers. By comparison, using the Winchester WLR, the velocity was 3133fps and extreme spread went from single digits to around 400fps which is too much spread for me.

70gn H 4831sc reached a mild 3112fps but even 69gn of Rel 22 was too hot in my rifle for some reason.
My best OAL turned out to be 3.282".


Appreciate the input but where did you get your load data from? Seems both the RL-22 and H4831sc loads you’re testing are significantly hotter than the Barnes book shows.
