Re: 125 TMK
Ran some loads out of my 308.
Winchester cases BR2 primers.
2206H
45 grains going up in 0.5 grains to 48.5 grains.
The group middle left is at 300 yards and is a 7 shot goup.
The test loads start at the bottom left to right. 3 shot groups.
0.320 at 3042fps
0.417 at 3082fps
0.080 at 3146
0.178 at 3195
0.560 at 3198
0.190 at 3200
0.597 at 3232
0.369 at 3296
The 300 yard is 7 shots of 46 grain into 0.508.
Fairly happy with this.

Re: 125 TMK
I've been using 130gr Speer HP but otherwise the same powder/primers as you.
While I have no data for 300yards my rifle seems to like 46 or 47 grains of 2206H @ 100yards. Although the best group (once of) was at 47.5 but that was probably a fluke (given my skill set).
PS. Always found Sierra tipped projectiles to be excellent.

Re: 125 TMK
Yep. I like the tipped Sierra too. These 125's are proving to be excellent on game(thanks Mistit for putting me onto them).
Surprisingly explosive.

Nice result Grant. You just need a good thermal now. The vermin are getting nervous. As they should be.
