Post by: Sneaky on August 06, 2009, 12:14:32 AM: my 710 likes the 150 core-lokt's best as far as the cheaper factory ammo goes, not sure it compares with a 700 though

EDIT: Also shoot 150 grain hornady SP

This is what I have used in mine until last year and had great success. I am now reloading for it and am getting a little better accuracy.

Post by: boneaddict on August 06, 2009, 09:04:06 AM: 150's, 180's, and 200's. Nozler or Hornady. Thats a great gun. Can shoot just about anything. Have one in the 25-06 as well. Love them both.

It's even easier to make a trip to the Den to fire up the shell press!

My gun tends to shoot Federal ammo best. I shoot Federal Premium High Energy 180 gr Noslers, very accurate (and powerful) round for me.

Post by: Intruder on August 07, 2009, 08:19:35 AM: Used to shoot 1. I'd probably lean to either Rem or Fed ammo with a premium bullet... 165 or 150 grain. Pick one load and shoot it for everything.
