What is your overall bullet length? And have you used these bullets on any animals. I have herd great things cant wait to get home and try them out.

Hi Justin,
Yes I'm using the orange box, I was using 175gr yellow box but had trouble getting more so I worked on loads for the 190's. I haven't killed anything with them yet but have killed a few things with the 175's from 90 yards out to 450. All have been with one shot; seem to work very well.
I have Sako M995 with 24" barrel and getting 2900fps; COAL is 3.64" and I found to get the best grouping (around 1/2") with 73gr of RL22 (max is 74gr).
