| I am trying to come up with a good load for my Windham AR. I have used IMR 4198, Winchester 748 and Alliant AR Comp. The AR Comp has given me an average speed of 2850 fps. I am loading Winchester 64 grain power point bullets. I would like to have a good hard hitting load for hogs. Anyone have any suggestions? |

Speer 70gr Semi-Spitzer with 26.0 grs W-748... of course PLEASE work up to this load... it's served me and others well on hogs and deer. |

| I use 25.0 gr of W748 under a 62 gr bullet and 25.8 gr of W748 under a 55 gr bullet. I would assume a little less for a 64 gr bullet like maybe 24.8 or 24.6. If you aren't loading around there, you may want to load up a couple rounds with that load and see how it shoots. |

That's my competition load, shoots great, but I never bothered to chrono it. But it seems like the loads people are suggesting are in the ballpark. |
