I don’t want to jack the thread, but since this is kind of a 270 thread. I have around 200 150gr sierra bullets I would like develop for use in a Ruger M77 tang safety rifle. Just because I already have them. Part of an estate acquisition, not a planned purchase. It has a 20” pencil barrel Any thoughts out there on the 150 grains vs. 140’s or even 130’s? I’m going to put a Leupold CDS scope on it and don’t really want to use the CDS for a less than optimum round. |

That's about it. Of course,what your rifle likes matters. 140 GR is kinda sweet spot for muzzle velocity. |
