the problem with your question the way its asked it this.....
you arent telling us what you want to do with rifle...
you arent telling us what you want to shoot with rifle...or at what range...
WHY this is important is because I will advise you to go fat round nose soft heavy pill...IM a bush hobbit
Mimms will say something like ELDM or ELDX super fast as he likes to shoot tiny wee bug hole groups at long range
DannyB will possibly say something similar with hunting orientated projectile.
Stagstalker may well chime in with his pet load for mid range deer sized animals
and it will turn into pissing contest and you wont have answer RELEVANT to what you want to do.
ladder chart.....hmmmm that suggests someone has had word in your ear telling you that you just have to do it to make projectile zoom along at warp factor 9 or it wont be good enough.....
have a crack at letting folks know intended use and it will be far easier to answer.

haha yea sorry. I intend it to be a hunting rifle but more for tops/ longer range stuff. have a potential Tahr trip coming up later in the year so will be a hunting round. Id like to think i could take an animal at 500m (as long as i do my bit lol) that said id like to get it shooting well at decent distances for the od days with the boys on the range. Bit more rifle info barrel is 24inch and pretty sure 1:9.5 twist. I like the look of the 162 ELDX

Cheers
