Hey guys I seem to remember someone starting a thread about these and how they shoot. I know not everyone is going lead free like we are here in CA but I just wanted to post some feedback. Last year I got about 1 MOA out of 45grn Barnes TSX in my Stevens 200 in 22-250. This year I loaded some of the 35grn NBT LF rounds to try. The rifle is stock except for a Boyds laminate stock with a cheek riser. I got 2/3 to 3/4 inch with 38.0 grains of both W748 as well as Varget, COAL was 2.350. The rifle has a 1:12 twist. I am happy with this and may play with the OAL as well as put one more grain of powder in there to a max charge and see if things tighten up a bit. I have not passed them through the chrono yet but with 38.0 they should both be around 4,250fps per the Nosler manual.
