I've decided to us 120 gr bullets to get the vel UP. At the same time I'm NOT going to HOT ROD either. My rifle is M 70 XTR Ftwt with 22" bll.
Exactly my thoughts with the first load I ever developed for my Turk Mauser. A 120gr NBT in front of 39grs of Varget makes a hole that measures .274" (if memory recalls) from three shots @ 100.
My 120 NBTs are still back ordered, so I'm still waiting.
I have 4350, IMR 4831, Surplus 4831 & IMR 7828 powders. IMR 4831 is my first choice but I have options.
