[QUOTE="liltank, post: 325923, member: 13275"] I currently use 200 sierra matchkings with Reloader 17. This works well and I had a very good load with the same bullet and H1000. I have am going to revisit the 208 Hornady A-Max to see if I can get it to settle in with Reloader 17 and H1000. I did not have those powders when I was doing my initial load build ups. I'm hoping they will work with the new powder selections. I use Federal 210 primers. As far as components, your rifle should shoot what ever you want it to. You will just have to work with loading for it to figure it out what it likes. Loads people suggest may or may not work in your rifle. I have found that most loads suggested to me produce to much pressure. I have a tight bore, so my loads have to be loaded a little milder. My rifle is a rechambered Savage Mod 12 Low Profile. I use a Nikon Buckmaster target dot 6-18X40 with side focus. It is a nice set up and shoots well when I do my part in pulling the trigger and loading. I would really like to rebarrel it with a custom barrel. I am settling on a Lilja 3 groove in an 1:11 twist. Just need to save up the funds. Tank [/QUOTE]
