    I've got a 1:12 twist 16" barrel. I have a box of 100 55 Sierra game king projectiles. Can anyone recommend a load for these? Currently shoot factory corelockts.

    They are a good bullet. My load is 25.5 grns 2206H and its very accurate. Start under that and work up. In my 22" barrel it gives me 3,150 fps so you should get around 3K fps.
    Marty Henry, Micky Duck and rewa like this.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
