sorry 5 grains short Barnes 85 gr TSX and 42 gr of varget with Fed 210 primer

Best I have found for my sons deadly accurate and deadly performance

this is a safe load in my sons rifle remember start low and work the load up.

I get good results with Varget and IMR 4007 SSC 100 gr bullet and 39 gr of powder. The short cut powder meters better than the longer options. You can get closer to the 39.5 maximum if you want. I don't anymore but you can try it.
