I have had good luck with all the bullets I have tried my best load (Varmints) is H4895 max-.2 under a 39 grain sierra.  My coyote load is H4895 Max-.3 under a berger 35 gain.

I don't know why but I can't seem to get to max using blc(2) especially with light bullets. But like I said I have had good luck (Acccuracy wise)with all I have tried, all solidly sub MOA some pushin and exceeding .5 MOA.

I have tried 32, 40 Hornady, 39 seirra, 35 berger I think I have settled on my loads but Nosler will be producing a 40 grain head that will get a try from me.
