My pet load was RL19 (around 63g I think), Federal case, Federal Gold Match 215M primer, and a 160g Accubond. Velocity is over 3,000 fps and for the deer and elk hunting I do that's good enough. I don't have a chrono so I can only go off the Nosler manual or some ballistics programs I've found on the web as far as performance. I've shoot paper out to 300 yd and they seem to be about where they are supposed to be.

I'm currenlty switching over to IMR 4831 just to see if accuracy is better or worse. With RL19 I was getting around 0.8" 5-shot groups at 100 yards. Plenty good enough but as a handloader it's always fun trying new stuff. Like they said, make sure to get the bullet OFF the lands by at least 0.010" to 0.030". Never seat the bullet so long that it touches, very unsafe unless you really know what you're doing.
