[QUOTE="DustThroughaFan, post: 3096850, member: 126551"] I tried varget. I ended up at 45gr, which is about the norm for that combo. I loaded up to 48gr and really didn't see that much return on investment. 47gr was actually faster than 48 by 37 fps. I may revisit it with 155's. Anybody got a favorite recipe to share ? I loaded 178 eld-m's this time around with varget, velocities listed below. 43gr- 2562fps 44gr- 2628 45gr-2696 46gr-2699 47gr-2755 48gr-2718 This was just loaded one round each to look for pressure. The steel case head obviously isn't going to show anything but the primers didn't really look bad at all at 48. No sticky or stiff bolt lift. This brass came primed, so I have no clue what primer it was. I liked where 45 landed on target so I loaded five more of them. Velocity averaged 2656.1, es-22.6,sd-8.1 Then I loaded five with the same load and br2's. I had a couple flyers in this group. One (shot #2) was on me but but shot #4, I'm not sure. Five shots averaged 2657.6, es- 28.7,sd- 10.3 I loaded twenty more with the br2's and shot 600 yards with that load on a crazy windy day. 5-18 mph right to left for the first 200 yards then at 600 it was blowing left to right. 14 moa to get on at 600. The sd from that group was actually better than the 10.3 from the first five the day before. Lost that data though due to the Garmin wigging out. Not sure what happened there. As I'm looking over targets while I type this, I'm thinking I may revisit 47gr and see what happens. If it works, that would give me 100fps over what I'm getting now. Rifle was my trued 700 with a 1:9 lilja finished at 20" Everything was shot suppressed. [ATTACH type="full"]568394[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
