for anyone interested, a quick update..

i recently posted about a Varget substitute for my 178 amax load, and chose vv550,

so far im very pleased, im in final stages of development, im getting 100fps more velocity than the varget, without the pressure signs, and its very clean burning!!

on my initial ladder test at 300yrds, i loaded
44.0 to 47.4 in .4 jumps, and ended up with all shots within .5MOA!!!!!

im pretty much decided on 47.1grns now after an OCW test, @2700 fps avge.

just starting to batch load to test at distance
