Just got the new 700ML with new barrel 50 cal build almost ready and will hit the range soon. Built for my son in law, he's a rem 700 guy in CF, and at present he's a breaker action ML with pellet/belted bullit hunter. I'm going to try to develop a Thor friendly load for the gun. To keep it simple for him. Who has shot Thor bullits SML and what powder/load was successful? I have 5744, N110 and N120, Rel 7, H and IMR 4198 and some 2015. Not looking to shoot hot loads just something better, cleaner and easier maintenance than pellets. BH209 a possibility but that is a far down 2nd choice below smokeless. Who's done it and what worked? thanks, W
 
I'm shooting the new one-size 300gn Tipped Thor in a new .50 Omega that Bestill built with 40gn N110 and they are pretty consistently .75MoA. They load harder than the old version but I push them through my barrel drop to ease the effort when loading the rifle.
