80 A-Max and Service Rifle

[firetrkfxr]

Anyone using 80 A-Max in their service rifle? Need some advice on charges and lengths. Do the A-Max's jump well or do I need to get closer to the lands? Any help appreciated.

20" Pac-Nor 6.5 twist
Reloader 15 preferred.

I run them 25 thousands off the lands.My load is 24.2 Rl-15 with a Wolf Sm Rifle Mag Primer.
I found I lost accuracy if I used more than 24.5 grains of RL-15.
This load shoots great out of my 1-7 Wilson Barrel WOA Upper.

24.0gr Varget, right on the lands. Tried as much as 24.5, but flattened primers too much. Rifle is a complete CLE with Krieger.

Shoots as well as I can.

Thanks!
What kind of speeds should I expect?
I use a chrono. Just curious.
