[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1936165, member: 87887"] I don't see Ramshot magnum listed for the 175 gr LRX, but most powders show approx 3100-3150 fps in a 24" barrel. If your barrel is longer, you may get higher speeds. If your not seeing pressure, I'd likely shoot the most accurate load as the difference between a SD of 7.07 and 10 will not matter inside 100 yards. One consideration would be whether you will be shooting at elevated temps. If so, the lower node may be a bit more forgiving. Copper bullets generally require a faster twist to stabilize than an equivalent weight CNC bullet. You don't list your twist. It may be that it isn't fast enough to stabilize the 200 gr bullet, or your rifle may simply not "like it". [/QUOTE]
