What kind of loads is everyone using. Anything from varmits to elk?
I am going to load up some 90's and some 130's for an upcoming hunt and thought I could see what everyone was using.

BW you should try some of the Groove bullets, for all reports they are great. Check with Don he hangs out here.

Hey Dale,
How do the Scirocco's shoot for you. I tried them in my 7mm-08 and it didn't like them at all. For $14 a box less, I went with the Grooves. The guys that can get the Scirocco's to shoot seem to like them.
Good Hunting,
Bob

I have some 130gr combined tech ballistic tips I am going to load for the goat hunt. I'll check out some groove bullets in one of my many 22cal gund though and leave a report for everyone.

I was sad to see that there are no 22 cal groove bullets  I'll get some 270 and bring them along for the hunt though. |

They do pretty good for me Bob. They don't shoot BR groups but I don't expect them too. I can hold them within an inch at 100 in both the .270 and the .338RUM. The .338 will even shoot them a little tighter then the .270. When I have time to play with more powder I might be able to tighten the .270 a bit.

Heading out to the range in the AM to try out some new loads in the pre 64 featherweight.
Trying the Combined Tech BT in 130gr, match federal primers, and 55 gr. H4831sc I'll keep everyone informed on the paper outcome and then on some live varmit testing.

This was a great mild load now if I get the trigger adjusted down we should have a great shooter.
