I'm trying to get a good hunting load together for my 10FLP (unmodified except for the McMillan HTG stock). Since they've got to feed from the magazine (2.915 maximum LOAL) I'm using 0.085 jump to the lands. I'd like to get the velocity up to about 2680 fps so I've got a little more work to do before deer rifle season next month.

Five shots at 200 yards (about 1.6 inch). Rifle is sighted in at 100 yards.

My hunting load compared to Federal GMM. I'm having to use more Reloader 15 than most books recommend but I'm making up for the longer loaded length.
