178 AMAX with LMT MWS

Re: 178 AMAX with LMT MWS

The 178 amax was my go to load in the mws for the past year or more.

I was running:
Lc lr brass
44 gr varget
Win wlr primer
178 amax seated to 2.19" ogive, or 2.81ish overall

This load shot very well, but work up to it as it was very warm. Velocity out of my 16" barrel was averaging 2460 fps.

I decided I wanted to clone fgmm so I could run either factory or reloads interchangeably. If that was not the case I'd still be running the amax.
