I have a Savage Hunter MSR 10 in semi-auto and I hand load for all my rifles. This one likes 147gr Hornady Eld-x bullets, but I would like to find a load for a lighter bullet like the 120gr ELD Match. On my 147gr bullets I use 40 grs. of H4350 with a CCI mag primer and get 1" groups at 100yrds, if I use a CCI LRP the group opens up so I stay with CCI LRMP. My 120 gr Hornady bullets are a easy 3" group along with my 140 gr Hornady ELD Match bullets and I have not found a good load for them. Anyone using these two bullet weights?
