Looking for some good starting points for my Kimber Montana as I am just getting ready to start reloading. Seems weird with all the books out there and them all seeming very outdated as far as bullets go but yet they have the newer calibers.So whats worked well for you?

Cub, give 64-66 grains of H4350 with the 168TSX a whirl. I got around 3000fps with Fed 215's.
My rifle didn't care for the TSX but your mileage will no doubt vary.


PS, start with low charges and work up carefully!

I tried various loads with the 168 TX and couldn't get them to shoot very well. Then I discovered the 180 Accubonds and R-22. BINGO!

H4831sc gave me a .8 5 shot group with mine using 168 TSX's.


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
