In what kind of rifle will you be using them?

Before I started reloading this was my standard hunting load.

I used it with great success in a Tikka T3x Lite (20" barrel). If I did my job it was 0.75 MOA or better.

As it is rather low velocity the meat damage even at close range and on small quarry (such as roe deer) was really nothing to worry about.

On the other hand and due to the "ballistics" I would not want to use it outside 200 or 250 meters.

For "brush hunting" and boar up to 85 kg the round never let me down.

Cheers
