[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1262769, member: 39303"] Nosler Neck sized brass CCI 200 primers 42.0 gr R19 Berger 130 vld COL 2.895 MV 2613fps SD 6 ES 16 High 2623fps Low 2607fps Rifle specs: Snowy Mountain Rifle co built Remington 700 SA Kreiger 26" 4 groove 8 twist This load produces consistent .5 moa 5 round groups in my rifle. So far my best is about a .35 moa group at 200yds. My only concern is that I'm sort of lacking in the velocity department. Another load that I have found to shoot well is 140vlds @ 2505fps though there was noticeable improvement in switching to the 130s. Would y'all think it's worth it to switch up powders or keep pushing more with the R19? The Berger manual lists 43.0gr as max for the 130 vlds and I know my groups open up considerably between 42.2 and 43.0. I hear reports fairly regularly about guys hitting 2750fps with 140s in both the 6.5 creedmoor and 260rem out of 24-26" tubes. I just feel like I could benefit with 200fps gain. [/QUOTE]
