140 grain Nosler Accubonds with 52.5 grains of IMR 4350.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

I shoot 140 grain Sierra Gamekings (Boattails) on top of 57 grains of R19 out of my Ruger M77 Mark 2.  Best group so far is .5" at 200 yards.  I don't like the bullets for deer though.  Jacket comes apart with high velocities.  I will be changing to Accubonds or something similar for deer.
