My luck is with the 120 NBTs. I have some 100s, but I never loaded them. I loaded the 120 NBTs with Win 748 way back when and they shot so good I have loaded very little else since then. They shoot great in any Grendel I stick them in.
My go to load is (insert start low and work up/ beware Internet load data/ explosions pending warnings here):
120 Nosler ballistic tip (seated 2.265" coal)
31.7 grains of Win 748 (compressed load)
Lapua brass
CCI 450 primer
Many many groups sub .5 moa from my 19.5" with that load and shoots good in other guy's rifles as well. I worked up the load weight looking for velocity and it hit great groups there without even really trying anything else. I won't warranty it safe in anybody else's rifle, but it's been safe and accurate for me in everything I've shot it in for what that's worth.
I've got a bunch of other components to try, but I'm lazy and hate to reload, so I usually just go with the one that worked right out of the gate for me.LOL
