i consider my 2506 to be far from touchy. when loading i always look to the nosler manual. this manual hasnt led me wrong guess i should say the info in the manual. i dont actualy own a nosler manual.

for 100gr bullets nosler says imr4831 is the most acurate powder. for 85s they say rel19 and i usualy load about 5 loads starting with theyre most acurate load if that load isnt at max. if the load is well below max i load from the most acurate load and up.

my loads are touching the lands. i dont realy like to be touching but i dont want to move them. these loads are very tight in the ruger mag box almost to tight at times. ive got to stack the 4 shells just right.

out of the last 3 loads i tried. 49.5 50.5 and 52 of 4831 none went over 1.5" one load may have been right at 1.5 but the other two were very close. 52 seemd to be the more acurate and chose to load a bunch of loads of it. this load shot 3/4 or so maybe less.. actrualy ill call it an inch never did measure any so i better not be spitn out small group numbers.

i have never loaded for remington but it sure seems that you should be able to get inside an ich.
