    Ive just used 2209 or 2208. cheap and works well. have used these powders for 65gners right upto 95gners(targex).
    Ive used the 95gn targex a little bit. worked well. shot two bull tahr with them both one shot kills.
    the 87gn bergers are also nice if you can afford them.
    my favorite load is 87gn Hornady BT HP with 2209. they just seem to work really in my gun and on all the game I have shot.

    probably going to desist with BK55's .. They were using a lot of powder (2208) to get decent speed. That said, they were hellishly accurate at 150yds : cloverleaf

    I'm getting what I want out of Vmax 58's at a greatly reduced powder load - Accuracy everything you'd expect out of a Vmax ... and decent speed too (yeah yeah, speed isnt everything)

    what do you mean cost a bomb? I got a box of 250 from Richard Wilhelm for $100. I've just loaded them in my 243 Rem700, 18inch barrel, suppressed. Getting 3690fps.
