A good start point

Do you have any load data/recipes for this Steve? I’m just starting out with N140 and 70gr Nosler b tips for my .243. Currently 39.5 and 40gr of powder are grouping well but I have no idea what FPS they are doing as don’t have access to a Chrono!

Cheers

Steve

If it groups well don’t worry too much about the speed for normal hunting distances. Accuracy is everything

I have just been using 35.5g n140 behind a Hornady 87g soft point, with good results.

I am yet to chrono, but would be surprised if I got those speeds. What barrel length is yours?

If you aren't getting that speed you're not deer legal (small deer excepted) you should reach that, my 25-45 gets to 3000 fps with 30 gr of powder
