I'm telling you, you won't part with that rifle once you load some 120 grain Barnes TTSX bullets. I trim my brass and load the bullets to where the last cannelure that is closest to the tip of bullet is seated to where the base of that cannelure is just showing at top of neck of brass. ( I can't remember exact OAL). Use H4895. Anything from 40.0 grains to 41.0 grains shoots good with 41.0 grains being the winner at 0.470" groups for me. I use CCI primers also and Winchester brass fully prepped. I won't part with this barrel anytime soon. I've heard the horror stories, but I have none. Oh, and 120 grain Hornady Soft Points with Varget shoots 0.360" groups (cant remember how much Varget, but I wanna say 43.0 grains). But the Barnes blows through deer at either 50 or 200 yards with no trouble following a blood trail, if you need it.
