47 gr. of RL15 with most 150 gr. bullets, and

44 gr. of IMR-4064 with most 180 gr. bullets......all with standard primers.

 

[martinbns]

150 gr ballistic tip, max load of reloder 15.

 

[Wookie316]

A box of factory Federal 150's off the shelf. It shoots so good with that, I have never bothered to even try reloading for that rifle.

46.2 gr BLC-2 168 match king

My M14 likes 45.5 grains BL-C(2) with a 150 grain FMJBT.

 

[Grizzlypeg]

45 grains of IMR 4895 pushing a 150 gr Hornady soft point shoots very accurately in my Tikka T3 lite. Seems to work well on deer.

 

[Levi Garrett]

43.5 grains of Reloader 15, topped with 168 Sierra Match

 

[Salty]

My rifle likes a fairly hot load of H 380 (don't ask) with 165gr boat tail interlocks. Shoots little groups, kills deer about instantly

44.5 grains of Varget with 150 Nosler...Tikka T3 lite
