    Lots of trail and error with my Remington but have settled with the speer 90grain flatbase and the hornady 87grain sp flatbase.

    To get the best out of the 100 grain bullets you need to reload and push them as fast as you can, the 90 grain Speer is probable the best non premium bullet for 1 in 10"
