I am currently developing a load using the Sierra 90gr HP. So far, I have only tried Varget and the accuracy isn't anything to write home about (1.25-1.50" at 100 yds.), but I still want to try some IMR 4041 and 4350.

Rifle is a Browning A-bolt. I began accuracy testing using the OCW method. The powder charges ranged from medium to max, but all groups fired were about the same. Not much recoil though.

I'm not sure if it even matters, but the hollow points were filled with the media that Sierra tumbles the bullets in. A few quick pokes with a needle gets it all out.
