Nosler 160 grain Partition stoked with 63 grains of IMR 4831.  This a touch OVER book..but works WELL in my brother's rifle.

as always....start low and work up.

YMMV

Woods walker, 53 grains of IMR 4831 sounds light. Are you sure its not 63 grains?? I think I use 63 grains of IMR 4831 with the 160 accubond. I dont have my book with me at work, so I am only giving an educated GUESS. Anyone have a nosler book handy to make sure???

I use 140 gr. Nosler Partitions with RL-19, 65.5 gr. at 85% load density, pushes them out at 3300+

The IMR-7828/160gr Accubond load I listed is my hunting load. I load 162gr. A-max's over RL-22 for a great long range rock punching load.
