    Best I've found so far, is straight out of the Nosler manual- 22.8Gr H110 under a 240Gr XTP using a CCI 350 primer. Best I can tell from the book it ought to be around 1675FPS from my 20" bbl Marlin.
    Didn't have time to chrono any this weekend- loaded 15 and 10 of those went into one 0.633" hole @ 25- that looked promising enough to me to load some more and step out to 100, just ran out of time.
    I'll put up some better numbers when I get them.

    I also use hornady XTP 240 grain bullets over a maximum charge of W296 powder as well. I load it on Norma brass that I found for a great price on gunbroker years ago with CCI primers. This load is nothing fancy but will deliver great and consistent results every season.
