does anyone have any good loads worked up for this caliber.
If you were on the westside, we could sure cook some up. You might try TexasPredatorPosse, they are always a real on good load recipes.

Do you have a bullet picked out that you want to use?

thanks guys i will give them a try. I think that this year i am stuck with factory I dont have enough time to get a load dialed in but i certainly will when i can shoot at some dogs.I have had good luck with Winchester 150gr. Power Point. Cronographed 3200fps out of my Remington model 700xcr in 270wsm. Took this mule deer doe with it last season at 298yds.

XCR, did you keep your HS stock or get rid of it? How do you like it overall?

Don't know about handloads, but shot a couple groups with my XCR last weekend with Federal 140 Accubonds. Little disappointed in my group at 1.25", but maybe I just suck and messed up the second shot. First and third shots measured 7/16". Yeah, I probably just suck lol.I sent the original one back that I ordered and they built me another one. Much happier with the second one. All I need to do is skim bed it now. Have you adjusted the trigger yet? That made a big difference on my XCR.

Here is my load for basically the same gun at yours Winchester Ultimate Shadow 140 grain Accubonds 74 grains Magpro 3300 FPS 1/2 groups 100 hundred yards, no high pressure signs at all. This rifle is very accurate shoots everything i have fed it into 1 inch or better. Please remember to work up to this load as it is fine in my gun but may not be in yours.

Same thing here basically. Except only 72 grains of magpro. Shoot it out of a m70 featherweight. At 73 grains the primers were getting a little flat. I would start at around 68 grains and work up until you see signs of pressure.
