What are your favorites? Accuracy? velocity? Interested in 200, 225, 250 gr.

I use four basic loads in my M600:
1) Small Game / Plinker 158gr. SWC with 31grs. of 3031 at 1550fps. A crude approach to a reduced load that burns a little dirty (not enough pressure), but shoots to POA of standard load at 25yds.
2) General Purpose 250gr. Speer Spitzer with 51grs. of 3031 at 2300fps. A bit under maximum, but plenty for many uses and cheap and accurate.
3) More Power 250gr.Nosler Partition with 54grs. of Accurate 2230 at 2500fps. A low pressure, but high performance combination. I get a little better than MOA, but this load is not fun off the bench in my little 6lb. carbine.
4) .35 Rem. Copycat 220gr. Speer with 45.8 of Reloader 7 at 2200fps. This one out shoots the .35 Rem. levers both in fps and accuracy; but due to the light load is not a tack driver When using the ghost ring sight it still shoots better than me beyond 100yds.
Hope these are of some interest. Please, check your manuals and develop loads for your rifle as I may not know what I am talking (typing) about.

hey Pop,
My father has that same gun. I had some loaded up for my model 7 and let him shoot. The gun was scary accurate. The load is h380 55.5 gr with a 200 gr hornady. He was so impressed he bought one in the 6.5 and a 243.

I've had real good luck with IMR 4320 in my 350 Rem Encore pistol with 225 Nosler Bal tips. You may also want to look at AA 2520.
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
