We have used RL-17 with all weights and have been pleased with the speed and how they shoot good groups.
All the way to 200 grains.

Right around 65gr of H4350 does wonders..
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

Works for me, 168TTSX is my projectile of choice.

+1 on the RL-17. Better accuracy and another 40 fps to boot over H4350.
Brass makes a difference . I’m using Norma . It won’t take as much powder as Winchester.

Again, RL 17.
6.5 staball good too, just hit pressure before achieving the velocity obtained with RL 17.

4350 of your liking, RL 16, 17, and 6.5 StaBALL all work well.
