Got a 12 inch hunter model that I'm going to do some load development with some 125 gr. Noslers BTs. What is the most efficient powder for such a load?

good to try a few, but IMR4198 would be a good place to start the experiment.


Kentucky….no place like home.

30 to 31 grains of IMR3031 always did good for me with that bullet in a 14 inch barrel.

I always used 748...no complaints.


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

I use 32.5gr Accurate 2015, ww brass, wlr primer, remington 125 clsp in my 12" Hunter for 2126 fps, and 1" or less 5 shot groups at 100 yds. For the speer 150 fp, I use Accurate 2520, 33.0gr, ww brass, wlr primer, for 1940 fps and 1" or less 5 shot groups at 100 yds. The same loads in my 16" T/C run about 60-100 fps faster with the same accuracy
