Have purchased the following to try loading in my Savage 111 with 24in barrel.

Sierra 160gr HPBT Gamekings
Reloader 25 powder.
Federal 215 primers.

Sierra does not list Reloader 25 for their reloads. (I may have too old of a book).
Alliant doesn't show Sierra 160gr Gameking bullets.

I emailed Alliant, and they said to use the Speer recipe that they have listed.

The COL is different between what Sierra lists for this bullet, and what Alliant says for the Speer.

Also, no cannalure on the bullet. Do I crimp, or not crimp???

Thanks for your time!!!
