Glad I could help. I have had good luck with 140 grain amax and 143 grain hornady eldx pills. Here they a couple of my “go to” loads.
143 hornady eldx
46.5 grains h4831sc
Fed 210m primer
Coal of 2.90140 hornady amax
47 grains h4831sc
Fed 210m primer
Coal of 2.87.These loads are pretty slow at 2570 and 2600 fps respectively. However, they are extremely accurate. Dime size 5 shot groups at 100 yards accurate. I have been using prime brass because I had it on hand. Purchased some Lapua brass 2 weeks ago. I am hoping better brass will get me a little higher velocity. Also, I just scored a couple pounds of h4350. Have read good things about increased velocity with h4350. I have a bunch of new test loads awaiting my trigger finger. I will make sure to post some results of those test loads. By the way, I believe the biggest factor in my load make up is the coal. So far, different charges have not really had too much of an impact on accuracy. Adjusting my coal has really been the ticket to tightening groups.
