Default RE: Working up a load – Advice

I'd recommend the 195gr Dead Center if you don't mind the cost. I got it to shoot well in 1-28" twist from a Traditions, 1" 100yd groups, at 100gr powder (2000 fps). It would not shoot well in my Omega, however, at any powder charge despite similar twist. Even at 100gr is will shoot pretty flat.

Cecil will be happy to give advice, it's nice that he is so accessible to ask,but always confirm with your shooting. Each gun is different, and when I told him my Omega would not shoot DC bullets accurately over 1800 fps he essentially said he did not believe me so I get my advice on the target range now even for his bullets. That and that bullet drop comparison test of theirs was so rigged and dishonest I haven't bought bullets there since (though I'm sure I'll eventually get over it, the bullets are good even if the marketing tricks are not).
