I'd start at 24 and work up but I imagine you'll end up closer to 25. If your going to jam 'em start at 23 and work up to be safe. I haven't shot the 77 scenars so hopefully someone else will chime in. I have only shot the 77 sierras. 2700 will be easy to achieve and I'd think you could manage 2800 fairly easy as well.

24.5 gr. of Varget lit by a CCI 400 at 2.235 OAL gets me 2705 fps out of a 20" 1:8 Rock barreled AR with 77gr. SMK.

Do you know oal to reach the lands? With a T3 you should be able to have a short jump and still mag load.

IN my T3 it's a long reach to get to the lands. I single load with 24.8 gr of Varget at about 280 fps out of the stock barrel.
