another whelen fan, i use 59.5 grs rl-15, fed 210 primer, 225 nosler bt's. velocity is in the 2700 fps range, groups .75- 1".

it is a 1903 a3, douglas barrel and a weaver k6 scope.

i just love it. it's one of my very favorite rifles. it's never failed me.

this load was one recommended by finn aagaard. you can start at 57 grs and work up to 60grs if you want but i found i passed the break ovrr point and achieved no further velocity after 59.5grs. personally i would start low and work my way up because your rilfle may perform differently than mine.

good shooting.
