    140gr BT - 42/43gr 2208.

    Should easily shoot under an inch with out much drama.
    Bushrash, 7mmsaum and 25/08IMP like this.

    +1 for the 140 BTs...good accuracy and knockdown

    If its chopped and suppressed, use 2206h rather than the 2208 but both will work

    Specific benefit of 06 vs 08?

    2206H is faster burning than 2208 and goes well in shorter barrels.

    Is 120gr better for short range? I'm trying to decide on a projectile for mine I shoot 5m - 400m.

    5-400m you will have reliable success with Sierras 140g Game King projectiles.
