azbow Report post Posted yesterday at 02:19 AM I have been using 120 Nosler BT with Varget. Grandson has used them on Deer and Javelina with great results but not sure how they would work on his elk hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's definitely a hot load and above book . It nets me 3100 fps. Id definitely start way lower and work up . I think i was up to 53gr for the 120 but only tested 10 rds and sent the rest to another member for his kids hunt. Chris what is the twist on that barrel?

Keith at Phoenix custom rifles built it outa my grandfather's interarms Mauser . Just found the build sheet and barrel is 1:9 twist. Switched from r17 to staball6.5 for temp stability. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
