[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 565692, member: 13978"] 3273 out of a 24 inch barrel for a53 grain bullet is really slow. I'm getting that kind of speed out of a 20 inch barrel staying with book listed loads. I suspect that the powder you are using is working very well with your 75 grain bullets but is a bit slow for the lighter 52/53 grain bullets. I am using N133 for lighter bullets. with a 50 grain vmax out of my 20 inch RRA I'm getting an honest 3250, and just over 3400 out of my 24 inch bolt gun. I'm looking to try Hornady's new 53 grain vmax. If I can get close to the same speeds with the new bullet I will be happy [/QUOTE]
