I got to the range yesterday and tried some 140gr NBT over a few different powders. IMR4350 was the winner today getting 3 shots under 1", but Winchester 760 also showed promise. Once again I was disappointed with Rel-15. I've tried that powder in a few guns and it never seems to live up to all the hype people spread about it.
I'm going to try some my 140NBT with a few more powders. I also have some 139Hornady SP bullets to try. I have a few 120gr NBT and I'll load them too. I think I'll try the 150 gamekings and see if they will shoot too
