I've been looking to you for that sort of info

I'm seeing nice things with 41.9 - 42.2 grains of 4895 under the 178 AMAX. Not so good with the 175 gr Nosler. I'd like to get it closer to max and see if I can get into another node.

As you know, I am still learning this OCW business!

Don,
you have anything for the "right" brass (LC Match of course)??
I know Lapua, Fed and LC are in the same capacity range, not sure where Remington fits in....
