Has anyone had any good results with their rifle and reloads, or should one stick with store bought ammo, and if so which brand. I'm trying Nosler 225gr. partition (reloads) with H4831, H4350, H414, but results are poor. The best I got so far is 2" @100 yds. with 73gr. H4831.
 
give Reloader 19 a try. I used 70 grains on 225 gr accubonds (still a jacketed bullet so data should be close....start grains is 67.2 , max is 72.2c)
I had poor results with the H414 also.
 
Im still tinkering with mine, Since im pretty much out of time and moose rifle season starts next week ive settled on 73 grains of IMR-4831 for now, Gives me about 2800 fps using Hornady Interlocks., doing more trials this weekend with fingers crossed.
 
I am trying RL 19 after IMR 4350, H 4831, H4831sc did not come close to desired velocity.
225 TTSX bullet and RL 19 started at 72 gr and maxed out at 77 gr. settled for now on 75 gr at 2800 and shot 1" 100Y from hunting shooting position.

Thanks for the input so far. I did go out and pick up some RL19, have not had a chance to put any loads together yet, but there coming. There was a target that came with my gun, sure wish I could find out what their load was for those 3 rnds. All 3 inside of 3/4 moa.

I know what you mean.....my Vanguard in 257 Weatherby came out of the box also with a 3/4 moa target and I'm having a hard time getting it to group under 1 3/4" with most loads at or over 2".....
