Same type of rifle as yours by the way

I agree on that load, getting 2208 bit of an issue now, i had good success with the hornady interlock 150g in an weatherby vanguard, also the 165g speer btsp are a good option and seem to be overlooked by everyone chasing the all copper projectiles at a much higher cost.
