Can’t find any fusion

Most of my 708s like 139 gr Hornady AW

I haven’t been able to get the SST superformance to shoot in any of my guns

My new to me Gallagher Mt. Rifle likes 150ELDX

My Model Seven has a 20” barrel. I also load for one with an 18.5” barrel. Both shoot 140 grain Accubonds and Partitions very accurately.

I've only been able to get my hands on the hornady lite 120gr sst and the norma 150gr stuff. The 120's will shoot into about a 1 @ 100y and the 150's will least say it was about 8" # 100y. I've drop two does DRT with the 120's neck shots. I do want to try the 139 eld's in it. I can build up a load I know this is just with store bought ammo. I have not tried working up a load yet, as I only use it for hunting and the 120's have done there job on the two I've pulled the trigger on.

There is no reason to shoot a bonded bullet or a TT bullet.

140's all day for this round

I used 140 gr Federal Fusions almost exclusively until they got hard to find. Killed tons of deer with them and can only remember having to track one. I bought a few boxes of the Norma Whitetail 150 gr on their Black Friday sale last year. Killed two bucks with them. One dropped in his tracks, the other stumbled downhill for about 30 yds and piled up. The last two shots I took while sighting it in were in the same hole. Will be using those again this year.
