56.7 grains of H4831sc behind 100 grain Hornady SP is the most accurate in my 700 ADL and 700 Classic. Of course, Hornady stopped making that bullet.
I guess the 117 SST shot really well, but I shot a doe with that bullet, and it had a soft ball size entrance wound. I hear the bullet has been improved. I'll never know from my experience! When I die, I hope to have the bean-counters at Hornady be my pall bearers so they can let me down one last time.
I'll be working with Barnes and Nosler this year with that cartridge. Bye bye Hornady!
The best load so far with the Partition is: 100 grain Nosler Partition, 9 ½, 51.9 grains IMR4451. I have only a pound or so of that powder and the outlook of finding more seems bleak.
I have not worked with Barnes yet though. I got my hopes on 80 grain TTSX's. According to Barnes, their most accurate powder is H4831sc with that bullet:
H4831SC 57.0 grains 3396 fps, to 62.0 grains 3656 fps
