[QUOTE="RiverRat, post: 51990, member: 637"] This is what I have found works the best in my rifle. 155 Palma: 46.5 gr of IMR 4064 Win. Brass CCI BR2 primer 2850 fps. E.S. in the 10 to 14 fps consistently bullet seated .015 off lands 1/2 MOA or a little better load in my rifle and several other shooters around here. 168 MK 40.7 gr. of IMR 4895 CCI BR-2 primer Win. brass 2520 fps have seen consistent single digit E.S. crushed into the lands .005 shoots in the .3's with occasional bug holes 175 MK 48.8 gr. of H4350 CCI BR-2 primer Win. brass 2685 fps. again consistent single digit E.S. off the lands .003 to .007 in the rifles around here. Mine likes .003 None of these loads show any pressure at all in either one of my rifles and the are chambered with short throat Palma reamers. As always work up to the loads listed. I have the most consistent results with CCI BR-2 primers as far as E.S. sperads and accuracy goes. The loads listed above have shot very well in more than a few rifles. All were short throat rifles. But throat length is easily dealt with. I hope this helps someone. I have tried Varget, and that while it give more than acceptable results it will not match the other powders in my experience.
