The 125 grain .311 sierras in my 303 are fine, they were printing at 100 yards about 3 inches to the left of the Norma 150 grain factory soft points. I am happy and now have a good load to take out on saturday as my back up rifle. I wanted a light bullet for our roe as they are small deer but I can still use it on the Fallow which are similar to Whitetail. I think and I'll have to check but it was 44.3 grains of IMR 4895. I tested for groups and still cannot beat my CZ 550 FS in 6.5 swede. I want to take deer with this 303 and definetly in 2017 when it will be 100 yrs old. I suppose that with a spare mag I can keep the light load in a 5 rounder and the heavies in a 10 rounder so I can tell in the dark! back to working on my CZ 527 in 762 x 39 now.
Just got back from the farm testing loads
