    How many grains using in 2206H? Might be a goer for the Barnes 80gr TTSX.

    40 if it's a boat tail/frangible - but a shitload less if it's a hard bullet with lots of bearing surface ( TTSX and GMX) and length, they get pressure much faster than light jacket bt's. You should try the 95 or even the 87 Berger, they just kill shit dead on the spot!

    Purchased some 87gr Berger but hesitant about 95gr because info is 95gr require 8 twist or less. Anyone using 10 twist because 87gr from their website says 10 twist ok.

    The 105 will give you trouble, but the 95 will not (based on a Rem 700 and T3 that both stabilized the 95 just fine) Powders : 2209, Re22, 2213sc, IMR4451, IMR 4320, 2206h all work (in my rifle). 2206h will really get the 87gn VLD zipping along, put it in the boiler room not the shoulder. (95 in the shoulder is fine) Other powders work too, just those are what I have and they work well.

    Im loading 87gr Bergers with 44gr of H414 in Dads original Rem Model 7 (whatever twist they are, 10 i think) they shoot seriously good, but it liked lots of jump to shoot best. Velocity is 3,128 with a ES of 2 fps!! from the factory 18.5 inch unsuppressed barrel. They shoot 1.25" group at 300 yards. A bit of a magic load in this rifle.
    Mooseman and superdiver like this.
