I like 39.7 gr. of W-760 and the 85 gr. Sierra Game King hollow point bullet. very accurate and primers are nice and round, no signs of pressure at all. Groups run in the upper .50's from my M70 Winchester. Never did Chrony them but the latest Sierra manual shows 40.0 gr. as the start load for 2900 FPS from a 22" barrel and the max is 42.0 gr. for 3000 FPS. The load does a numbe ron coypotes without them looking like they swallowed a sick of dynamite that blew. I had a decent deer load many years ago with the 100 gr. Hornady SP bullet but all my loading notes were lost when I moved from Nevada to Arizona. Always wondered is the movers helped themselves. Kind of hard trying to replace 25 years worth of loading data.
