Need help making decision on bullet choice first time 30br

Can’t go wrong with them. Post your targets when you begin to work up loads.
This is my first eight shots after two sighters to get on paper. Im kinda floored. Very pleased. These are Cline's 108s , alpha brass, neck turned. Shooting 35g of Vv133. Seated at jam. Bullet length was 2.275..
Anyway, very pleased so far with things. I had to bed my stock, put pillars in and piece together myself some scope mounts. Action is a Neskia J chambered by RoyinNC. He did a dam good job

Very nice. Looks like it wants to shoot for you.
 
My intention was to see if my scope would zero. I only made up 10 rds. And 133 was the fastest powder I got on hand at the moment. 35g seems like that's all shel hold. These bullets too, they seem super consistent. They all measure the same, ojive wise right down to the thousandths..
Here's a couple pics of the rig if they'll load up
Those groups measured .26 and .22 after subtracting .290

I got a 17tw keiger. And need some advice on which bullet to buy . Id plan on getting 500. And stick with them til I find tune. Im thinking a 112g. But I see 115, and 118s. So I find myself asking which bullet for 17tw.? 30br.
No way to know in advance. Try them all to find which your rifle prefers. Then buy enough of that “best” bullet til you cry - you don’t want to run out, and production runs are limited. Buy til you cry. Oh, you didn’t mention powder, but most competitors use LT-30 or N130, although others can work.
Good luck with your testing!
 
Now here's a head banger. Left me scratching my head. Testing Lt30 and V130, both powders shot a l hole group at 34.5 grains. One hole as in 5 shots measure 0.1 honest. Pretty crazy.
Kinda makes me want to get lab radar out.

All hail the Cline 108 30cal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+++
