Im currently shooting 51 grains of H380 with a 168 Berger VLD out of my Savage 12 F/TR with no signs of excessive pressure and I'm getting 2950 fps. Thats with a 30" barrel, also. I got that load out of a Sierra handloading manual. It was listed under compition loads for the 168 SMK. And that wasnt even the max load listed! Oh yeah, the gun shoots under a half-inch groups, too!
