I took the initial loads to the range today. Only tried RL22 and H4831SC. I was able to get 3020 fps with 130 grain Berger VLD's and 53 gr of RL22. Groups were right at an inch. I'm going to tinker with the bullet length with that load as that is the speed and bullet I'd like to shoot in the gun.
Huge thanks to nsaqam for hooking me up with a ton of info. Thank you to the others that have responded as well. I'm in hurry up mode to find something suitable for hunting in a few weeks and after that I'll try some of the other combo's mentioned. I'll update this thread with my results if I get anything special. Love the gun. I'm thinking after break in it will be a keeper.
H1000 sounds interesting. That's what I'm shooting in my 6.5 Weatherby (72.5 gr) and I'm getting 3380 fps with 140 Berger VLD's. Going to try to tip over an elk with it in a few weeks.
