Have had good results with 59gr Retumbo as well as 58.5gr RL25 but not quit as good at the US869

Am working on a load now with the 147 gr ELDM I'll post back once I find out what works.
I found that the Hornady brass worked fine, for two firings, then the neck tension became significantly less consistent, and the groups opened up. If I had to use Hornady brass, I would anneal after every two firings.
