@Montana'eer I setup my grandson Bergara B14 HMR with H1000, 168 Berger VLDH, CCI 250 and Hornady brass. I followed the Berger seating depth test as well, his barrel liked it at .050 off lands with 68.0gr of H1000. This produced consistent ES 12 and SD 8 if my memory serves correct, he has the shot book I setup for him. He has not been Elk hunting with it yet, but did take a nice cull buck this season.
My load using the 160's produces about 10SD and I think the last range 20 rounds was an ES of about 30. Fed Gold magnum and Hornady brass. I think I can clean that up a bit with a little more attention at the bench. But accuracy is fantastic so I don't to futz it too much, lol.

I use 70gr H1000 and am right at 3,100fps. I think I will work up loads using the 168's and give it a whirl in my rifle, but as it stands my current load wallops the snail snot out of stuff.
