.223AI, 69SMK, Varget Load help

[slick1177]

I'm currently developing a .223AI load using Varget, 69 SMK, 1x Lapua brass and CCI primers. My rifle is a rem 700 barreled with a 24 inch, 1-8 rock creek tube.

I'm currently running 26.8 grains of powder and getting 3025 FTP with no pressure signs.

I'm doing another OCW load development and I need some help with the Max Load.

If there is any one out there with experience using these component, what velocity or powder charge did you get to before see pressure signs?

I am going to start working on using the 69gr SMK in my 223 AI SPS Tactical.

I think max will be around 28 or a little more of Varget. will it fit in the case though?
