With my Mdl. 70 the 76 grain R15 load proved to be the maximum I could use with all bullets including "stickier" ones like the Kodiak.

You may be able to go higher with the 250 Sierras, TTSX and 260 Nosler but I wanted the same load and POI so kept all at 76gr. Versatility was more important than an extra 50fps.

Not only do all the 250s shoot approximately the same but the 270 and 300s are in the same group if a 1-1.5" group is acceptable. I will take minute of buffalo performance anytime over switching loads and settings and worrying about whats in the chamber.
