Occasional lurker, new member. After reading Billinthedesert's post, I had to join up and reply. It's almost like I wrote it!
I got my American Predator in September, along with a box of PPU 110 gr. FMJ's. I mounted a Burris 4.5-14, and sighted it in, first a few shots at 25 yds. Then moved back to 100. Brass was hard to find back then, so I also got a box of Nosler 120 BT's to shoot from Midway. They blew me away!

Finally, from a post I saw here, I bought some Nosler brass from Shooters Pro Shop and started working up a load with powders that I had in my cabinet. IMR4198, IMR4895, and Rl15. I have Varget too but am saving that for .223. I'm still trying to decide between the 3, 23.7 gr. 4198, 27.5 4895, and 28.5 Rl15. Started with 120 Bergers, and found some 120 BT's that might have a slight edge. I'm still in the testing stage. Here's 28.5 Rl15 with the Match Burners.

Hoping to find some XBR 8208 or Benchmark locally, but so far no luck. BTW that Nosler brass is good stuff!
