Loaded up 165g SST with 42g of RL-15. They are rockets. Accurate as all hell. I was loading to fire-form cases and randomly picked this powder and bullet. Man, what luck. I can't wait to shoot this load with fire-formed cases.

Has anyone else had success with 165g SSTs? I'm still astounded by what I saw. I'll have to take a picture of the cases for everyone to judge if its too much pressure for my rifle.
 
Re: 165g SST == rockets

I have made some deadly accurate hunting loads with them. I only shot them out to 100 yards but they were at .5 MOA and deer didn't take a step after being drilled by them. The amax will serve you better though as a target bullet.
