    CBI barrel on the way chambered in this.

    I've got some 140 Amax's on the way, and H4350 and IMR4350 on the bench. Starting ideas for loads appreciated...

    Also...

    Am I going to be limited to VLD's with this; assuming that the extra .042 of jump in this chambering isn't going to be liked by tangent ogive bullets?
     
    my CBI never shot the 140 amax's better than 3/4"...however hornady 140 BTHPs, with 43.1 h4350, in remington brass @ 2.850" COAL, 1/2" all day...and i wouldnt worry too much about the extra jump...my best load is 139 scenars, 43 gr h4350, WLR primers in lapua brass @ 2.810" COAL...2840 fps (verified out to 1000 yd) out of my 24" barrel and i have yet to shoot a 5 shot group w/ this load that hasnt been 1 ragged hole @ 100
