Nice cop-out. Once again, you can't back it up. Tell us about your ultimate load combos.

"not much" is starting to sound like "nothing"

If you mean effectiveness on game, then nothing. However, had I wanted what were essentially 257 Roberts velocities, then I would have bought one instead.

Start with a box of Core-Snots and see what you get. Then move to some of the higher end stuff if you like. Federal TSX's are pretty sweet. Ignore wildman and huntr, they're too busy figuring out what "is" is.

The Federal Premium Vital Shocks with 117 grain Sierra GK's were very accurate in my .25-06. The Hornady 117 grain BTSP's shot within and inch of the Federal's.
