I haven't tried the factory load or Barnes 110gr bullet. I have loaded 110gr Speer on top of 56grs of Varget (that's 1 full grain above the Hodgdon's recommended starting load). After two rounds the barrel was really hot (Arizona Summer sun didn't help).

Switched to the (don don don, you guessed it) 130gr TTSX.


Remember, not everyone has a happy ending, so be happy when you can
