Just wander if some of you would like to share your favorite most accurate load for above rifle. Mine shoots around 1" @ 200 yards with Hornady 165 / 180 gr spbt and IMR 4350, the same; R19 and 180 Hornady btsp and H4350 and 165 TSX. I also tried Nosler but they didn't shoot equally well. I'm just looking for some new combo(bullets / powder) ideas???????
Thanks
Vic
 
Nosler ballistic silvertip 180gr with 64.5 imr 4350 1 inch at a hundred with my t3 hunter. Probably do better if I could shoot better, lead sled is in the mail, so will see if that tightens up the groups.
 
I have had good luck with 165 gr partitions out of mine. Hybrid 100 V was the powder and chrony at 3200 fps. 180 gr accubonds shot well with imr 4831 but only chronographed at 2900 fps... Was hoping to bump it up around 3000 fps. Either way the partition has performed very well on moose, elk, and deer.
 
180 Partition and 66/67 grains of Reloder 22.
Lots of muscle, and shoots moa in 2 Vanguards. [S1's]

Start at 64 and work up sensibly.

I save my 200 grain loads for my 308 Norma Mag or 300 Win Mag.

TTSX 168g bulletts
CCI br primers
H 4350

great accuracy from 64 g out to past max (data from the hodgdon website)
no pressure signs in my sako 75.
3040 fps is my hunting load
 
Remington 700 XCR

180 TTSX
CCI250
62.5g H3450
3940-2950 fps
3 shot groups - .75" (shot two 4-shot groups that measured .90" and .95")
No pressure signs at 63.5 grains and slightly better accuracy - however velocity exceeded my self-imposed limit of 2960 fps (based on Quickload data provided to me).

Developing loads for new Sako 85 using 168 TTSXs. H4350 averaging under 1.5" - good, but hoping for better. RL-15 had 2 out 5 groups under MOA (all different loads) - speed looks like it will bin in the 3030-3050 fps range. RL-15 is listed as the most accurate powder for the WSM for 165-168 g pills in the Barnes #4 manual.
