[QUOTE="Akhunting, post: 1574982, member: 59197"] In a 26” 1:9 I have tried 175 ABLR, 175 ELDX, 180 Berger VLD Hunting and Hybrid Target, 160 Federal TBT, 168 VLD Hunting, 155 Hammer Hunters, and 168 Nosler HPBT at various OAL lengths using H1000, Retumbo, and 7828 (R33 was been hard for me to source but want to try it). Best groups and my current load is with 175 ABLR and Retumbo just off the lands at ~3200fps. All Bergers have shot well with most recipes (168 VLDs were best followed by 180 VLD Hunting), but not great and I’m not a fan of Bergers for hunting (cue rfurmen24 and L.Sherm to tell me otherwise). ELDX was an utter failure in all loads... the Federals have potential but giving up weight for this cartridge IMO. The Hammers did not do well, but I did not really ring them out and would like a heavier bullet. I want to try some of the Barnes 168 LRX, but still have plenty of the ABLRs currently. [/QUOTE]
