So I recently won a new Quigley Ford Scope. For those that dont know, you give them your BCE, bullet, gr wt, MV, etc and they etch a custom reticle onto the glass of the scope.
I currently shoot factory Hornady loads, and they have served me well in recent years. However, with scarcity, price, and wanting to get the most out of this scope and rifle, time to work up a load.
Does anyone have a starting point? A pet load that works for them? Any and all help is appreciated. I have enough brass to get started, the 200gr projectiles, just need powder and primers.
Gun is a Tikka Superlite W/ Benchmark Brake

Quigley Ford Scopes are a very nice piece of glass.
I am sorry however that I don't have a load for 200gr. bullets.

Was gonna post exactly the same thing. Much like Keystone I also shoot a factory match load outta my Quigley Ford. I'm following this thread with anticipation.

I did have a very nice conversation with Randy at QF today. Wish I could afford the Dual Focal plane scope. Although I will be upgrading my 4-16 to the 5-25. Anyway, aside from him inventing and patenting that technology, he is a super nice guy and utter wealth of knowledge.
He asked what load and such, what gun. He said, if I tried to replicate the factory load, and was even off by 50 fps at the muzzle, it would only be maybe a 4" difference at 800yds. So quite frankly, if I dont get this pad developed before too much longer, I'll order for factory, and make small holdover adjustments qith what I develope later on.
