I have a Rem 722 rebored by JES. It's a fantastic shooter but keep the copper solvent handy. It's the only rifle that I shoot factory ammo in, and it prefers the cheap Federal Fusion 200gr. Just not able to match the combined velocity and accuracy of that stuff. The most promising handload I've found uses the 200gr Woodleigh and 8208XBR. I also tried the Nosler 200AB and Barnes 210gr but they are long for weight and eat into the powder space quite a bit. Next up is the 185TTSX, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
8208 XBR is good with the 185 TTSX. AA2230 for max velocity. TAC is very good too. FYI, the 160 TTSX is just the 185 without the boat tail. For what ever reason that 160 has always been the easiest to get to shoot very, very well. AA2230 will get you well over 3k FPS. I’m currently using H322 which shoots the same in very cold temps (2940s).
