I was able to get great accuracy from IMR 4064 and 100 gr TTSX with Rem 9.5's at 43 grains. I started at 41 which was not impressive at all worked up in .5 grain increments and groups tightened right up. Been running the 120 for a long time and going to try the 100TTSX as my primary deer hunting round this season. I have read about IMR 4064 and 100's either NBT or TTSX being an accurate combination in a wide range of firearms. I believe MD had great accuracy with the 100 NBT IMR 4064 in a Tikka as well.

Good luck and shoot straight y'all


Sweet. I'll work up some loads and throw the chrony on it and see what happens
