The only ruger rifle I have ever shot was a ruger 77 international? with the full length mannlicher stock. Not sure if international is the name for that 77 or the No.1 but either way it felt good. The trigger was a bit heavy but after shootin a NEF/H&R for awhile (we all know how heavy their triggers are) I got used to heavy triggers.

Ive been goin through my nosler #5 manual lookin at loads all morning. I usually wont use any load over %95 case capacity on 150-165gr bullets and none over %90 on 180gr loads. So far I have found 6 loads for the 150gr partition and 6 loads for the 150gr ballistic tip. Once I start examining 165gr loads I may try some 168gr matchkings because Ive heard they work really good on deer (for a match bullet).
