I use 48.0 grains of IMR 4350 with fed 210 primers, Winchester brass and I shoot 110 grain accubonds.

COAL is 3.260 I believe... Little longer than what the book says.

For anything up to and including deer try one of these.
Both targets are 3 shots each.

Anyone got a load for 75gr Sierra hollow points in the 2506? Preferably with IMR 4831 or 4350.

The 85gr will work well for smaller game,but for Red Deer,which can be larger than our Whitetailed Deer,or Mule Deer.,I would go with a heavier bullet,or a more strongly constructed bullet like the TTSX.

100gr. Partition's or TSX's over RL22, for deer, elk, and moose.

75gr. Hornady V-Max's over Varget for varmints.

I will be using 75's for coyote hunting. I use 110gr accubonds for deer.
