Yes, 106 is long, and while I have lots of h4895, lever will probably end up being my go to powder to hopefully get to where I want to be. I have read people having some issues getting the TAP to shoot well so thats a bit concerning. The TAP is a very long bullet and if it doesn't work out as I want, I will look at the 103ELDx and 105 scenar - killed lots and lots of critters with 139 and 150 grain scenars in other calibers - im sure the 105 will kill great as well. It just has a lower BC and probably limit my distance reliable expansion velocity. Berger 108s may get a look as well.
Either way, I think this rifle will make a great ltwt backcountry gun and with suppressor and small case/powder capacity, hopefully be a very quite rifle. I have been with buddies who have shot animals with suppressed medium rifles (260, 6.5, .308 ETC) and I would be just over the ridge and could hardly hear the shot.
