Anyone have a good load worked up for this? My rifle is a Weatherby Vanguard 2, 24" barrel. If memory serves me right this is a 1:8 twist. Any info appreciated regarding loads, powder, bullets, etc.

Thanks,
SB
 
I use 41.5 gr of H4350 with either the 140 amax or the 140 sst with good results. When I first got my rifle this was the factory load for the 140 gr amax. I have had good luck copying this load. The 140 sst worked very well on the 3 antelope I shot with it.
 
I have gotten great accuracy with all the Hornady Amax bullets 120/123/140gr. Used several powders all shot good except CFE223 which is unusual. Just tried some N150 this week and groups hovered around .500 to .725 for five 5 shot groups.
H4350 seems to be powder of choice with heavier bullets but Varget/AR Comp/IMR4007SSC/IMR 8208 all do well with the lighter bullets.
