Good load bushy;I've used that 165 gr hpbt sierra over 40 yrs ago in the 06' with 58 grs of 4831!Shot superbly all these years-I won't change loads.I use for elk and deer-It has always put meat in the freezer! Very Happy

I've even loaded the 180 gr BTSP's down to 55 gr of H4831 and still had good terminal results and a stinging 2500 fps.
