In my sako .243 I found RS 52 to be devastating with 70 /75 grain nosler BT 

and RS62 for my Berger 95 grain classic hunter .

very low ES/SD with both powders and federal GM210 primers

Thanks, obviously I will do my own research but how many grains of RS52 are you using?

For 70 grain I use 40.5 grains of RS52 which is giving me 3275 FPS .

i did manage to get upto 41.5 but found it was too fast for the 70 grainers 

im using a sako black wolf with 24.5 ” barrel

That’s very helpful, thanks.

Personally I found the 95 grain Berger classic hunter to be the best all round IMHO 

I can push those little buggers with 40.2 grains of RS 62 upto 3100 FPS with now pressure signs. And with them being a semi match / VLD bullet there amazing at long distance and bucking the wind . 

For a bit of fun the other day I placed orange clays out on the drilling’s at ranges 150m   - 850 m and have no problems 

might be worth a look

Cheers I’ve gone for the 70 Grain as a fast foxing round. Not going on deer and understand Berger hold together too well on vermin.
