My Speer book only goes up to a 175 gr bullet.
175 gr soft point is shooting 3/4 groups out of my Ruger M77 at 100 yards.

Reloader 25 65 grains 2792fps

I hope this helps.

I emailed Mr. Berger and here is his reply. I can email to you his note as it is in a table and much easier to read. Shoot me a note at jmccanlies@mastertag.com and I will forward his recipes. Here is his email via cut and paste:

Hi Jim,
Load data was generated using Quick Load a 26 inch barrel a COAL (cartridge over all length) of 3.290 inches and your COAL and velocity could be a little different.

AS WITH ALL RELOADING APPROACH THE MAXIMUM LOADS WITH CAUTION AS ALL RIFLES AND RELOADING TECHNIQUES WILL BE DIFFERENT. If YOU CHANGE ANY OF YOUR COMPONENTS; THIS INCLUDES DIFFERENT POWDER LOT NUMBERS; YOU MUST REFIGURE YOUR LOADS BY STARTING WITH THE MINIMUM LOAD.



If we can be of any additional help feel free to contact us.

Thanks for your interest and have a great day.
