    Hi there I have some RL-15 and RL-19 and a lot of 150gr Hornady bullets. I see the RL-19 in Hornady's handbook is mainly suited for larger grain bullets (178gr+). I was wondering what anyone considers to be a good one for deer, boar, etc. I'd like to go to my local B&M which actually has a good Hornady selection and get some for some nice high quality hunting rounds to use my RL-19. And I can keep using my RL-15 on the 150gr stuff.

    Also I'm not stuck on Hornady, I just have their Handbook and Midsouth is dragging ass on getting me the Berger and Lyman books. I'm game to try any other ideas as my local guy does have a decent supply of higher end bullets as long as I can get a clear reading on what to use my RL-19 on.

    '06 use RL 15 with 150's , RL 19 works best with 165 - 180's . Use RL15 where you'd use 4895 or 4064 , RL 19 where you'd use 4350 , RL 22 where you'd use 4831 . Hornady bullets used to be on the soft side , larger than mule deer I want a tougher bullet
