I loaded some 69gr TMK's with 24.5gr of AR2206H which gives me around 1MOA at 100 metres but feel it could do better as it wondered a bit the further out I shot.

I also want to load 73gr eldm's, I got 1.25MOA at 100 metres with 24gr's of AR2206H the lesser loads were poor but was worried I could be getting near max so am a bit worried about going much more unless someone has a load which is ok.

I also had a wee play with the 64gr sierra game changers but so far no joy there so was hoping you could help with how much powder you are using.
