Here are the results of the load tests - i am not the steadiest shot in the world (target shooting wise - fine on vermin, foxes and deer though :D , so i think they should be fine :)

Tulky. I predominantly use the Sierra 60 grn flat based HP in my 1 in 12" T3 after a session at Bisley trying 52's and 55's.

The 60 grn Sierra beat all at 200 yds with clover leafing groups.. Something my steyr 1 in 9" couldn't achieve yet an old ruger 77 with a 12 twist could with the same pill. I load it quite hot at 26 grn varget and a COL of 2.265" so it just fits in the mag. If you want to try some of these, pm me with your address and i'll send you some to try. Grant...
