    @planenutz Ladder testing for your rifle is very important. Don't shortcut and try and copy factory loads. It may not end well.

    Ive been using ADI BM2 powder and 55gr SP projectiles with success on everything from bunnies to wallabies and fallow deer. I have worked out a very consistent recipe that works well.
    There is no short way of sorting out your own recipe without doing lots of testing.
    I made 5 rnds for each load from min to max and measured spread of the groups.The best grouping wasn't the max load for my rifle.
    ebf, planenutz and Max Headroom like this.
