Yes, I think I will go with the handload. As DrMike mentioned, something about "rolling your own" makes the hunt that much more special.

Thanks. I’m on the fence if I want to use the factory ammo or the handload for this season. Decisions decisions...

Just a followup. Shot some 100yd groups and very impressed to say the least. This is the factory 325gr FTX This is a handload using the Hornady 350gr RN 58grs H322 CCI200 Avg - 2202fps

Thanks guys. Yes, they are very nice rifles and always seem to consistently shoot well. Going to be a toss up to see which one will get the nod for deer this season. My old 444SS is equally accurate and ready for action.

Here she is. Going out again this weekend and will shoot some groups at 100yds. Will try some reloads as well.

Got out to the range to sight in and run some rounds over the chrono This is the factory 325gr FTX at 50yds. Avg - 2106fps

Just added a Vanguard S2 stainless to my collection and looking for suggestions on loads for upcoming deer season. I have been hearing H1000, RL25 and 7828 are good powders. I have a variety of bullets ranging from 90gr GMX up to 120gr PT.

Thanks for the responses. As suggested, I'll stick with this load.

Got a chance to run this load over the chrono and pretty decent results. 165gr BT 55grs IMR-4350 3.320" WLR primer R-P case 3 shots Avg - 2774 Hi - 2781 Lo - 2766 ES - 15 SD - 7 Wondering if I should move up in charge?

Picked up some and wondering what a good starting load would be with the 165gr BT.

Going to be trying the 165BT soon with Staball 6.5

Got a Mossberg 464, and looking to put together a load for the upcoming deer season. Any suggestions? I have the following powder and bullets to start with. Hornady 170 FP Sierra 150 RN Hornady 160 FTX H335, W748, LVR, H4895 Thanks [emoji4]

That's impressive. I am seriously thinking of trying it in my .30/06 with the 165gr BT.

After using it the past 5yrs, I’ve gained a new appreciation of its effectiveness in the field.

Interesting for sure. So $75 U.S means $200 Canadian then? [emoji6]

I have some 50gr and 53gr V-Max I can try with Benchmark and also H322 and 748. Might have some CFE223 as well.

So just a follow up. The load shot pretty good, but speed wasn't there. 1. 2934 2. 2930 3. 2901 ES - 18 SD - 33

Got three at the moment. 1894 in .44, 1895MXLR and a 444.

Mine was a 100yd shot straight on to chest (deer was looking right at me and would not turn). Dropped right where it was hit. Upon field dressing, lungs were completely destroyed.

I’m using IMR4350 with the 165gr BT. Shoots well out of my Mossberg Patriot. Dropped a WT last season.
