I don't think I've used that bullet, but the 100gn XTP works well in .303/7.62x54R.

I don't have access to my load data, but I punched them well over 3000fps in the Mosin. Accuracy out to 100m was no different to most bullets I've used. I mainly use old Super 173gn and 174gn SP's that came with my No.4 Rifle, and the 150gn Hornady SP. AR2206H and Trailboss are my preferences, but I haven't done any precision load development for them.

Thanks for that info blade, I ended up buying 100gn XTP also. Although the recommended velocity is between 700 - 1500 fps. I think some experimentation is in order. ;) I have benchmark 2 and AR2206H to play with.
