Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

There’s a thread in the rifle reloading forums that has more info regarding this.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

There’s a thread in the rifle reloading forums that has more info regarding this. I’ll look for it thanks! Les, I'll show you a couple good, "pet", loads that I have developed for my Tikka. I'm pretty happy when I'm putting 3 shots into around an inch at 400 yards: 400 yards: Sub 1" at 400 yards is even better: My experience with the 88gr ELD match bullet in the 22-250 has been pretty positive. Here's a cheaper Barnes 69gr match burner load that was alright:

Man those are great groups at 400!! Thanks Les, another reason I shoot paper at 400 is because at my local range, the furthest targets we can drive to is 400. We have steel set up at 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1,000 yards though. I guess you can say it's my favorite playground right now. I have other places I can shoot and set up paper, but I'm kind of lazy. This makes it too easy.. 400 isn't that far, but it's a good distance for testing different rifles. In this pic, I was comparing 3 different rifles. Sometimes I'm impressed or disgusted in how some of these different rifles shoot. Thinking your loudenboomer 300wby magnum is going to lay down some serious kick azz, often times does not happen. A lot of times the .223 caliber's shine. I believe in the pic here, my AR15 did some major kick azz. Even though I've seen that many times, it still surprises me. There's beauty in that 1 in 8" twist 22-250 though, especially when running 77's and 88's.

I wish I had a 400 yard range 😂. My normal range is only 100 yards, I do have a place to shoot 300 but I don’t get down there very often.

RL 15 has done well for me with 75 gr ELDM and 70 gr Accubond. The ELDM is a smidge more accurate, but the 70gr Accubond has shown much better on game performance. The 62 gr TTSX has also done well but didn't quite have the accuracy of the other two in my rifle.

Bill I found some RL 15 I forgot I had. Any advice on a loads for 75’s? 32.9 gr shot the tightest with a 75 grain AMAX and Lapua brass. Avg velocity in my Tikka was slow at 3,055 fps.

Sorry LBP, just saw your question.
With the 75's I'm running 33.5 gr of RL-15 with an average velocity of 3340 fps.

LBP, post results of your RL15 testing. I just got me a pound of it to try with 77 gr. Berger OTM's and also got some Win 748 I'm gonna try as well. So far I have just had so-so accuracy with Varget, 4064, and IMR 4350.

Ran some chrono loads yesterday in my 22/250. RL-26 22" barrel, 1/8 twist 88 gr Hornady ELD
36 gr. = 2838 fps 37 gr. =2890 fps 38 gr. =2941 fps 39 gr =3079 fps 40 gr. =3041
When I see a higher charge weight and reduced velocity that usually means the end of the line. And a very faint ejector mark on the 40 gr load confirmed it. My old accuracy load in this 22/250 is 32.5 gr RL-15 for 3075 fps, kinda matches others experience, I find that very interesting
