Has anyone worked with this and 150 grain bullets?
Sry, just the 162Amax.
What was your load?
My initial data point with a Nosler 150 LRAB was hitting only 2550 fps with 42.5 grs of 2000MR. The Alliant data showed 43.3 with a 145, so I thought I would start a couple grains below and max out one grain below.
I am shooting it out of a Tikka with a 22.5" barrel and thinking I should be able to get to at least 2700.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
I know when I tried it in the .308, I essentially just matched my Varget speed and a 1/2 grain higher gave heavy bolt lift.
I tried 47 and 47.5 with a 175SMK in Win cases. This was in a Model 70 action. About 2690 at 47. I think the big ejector cut bolt indicates pressure sooner.
205 is a small rifle primer, how'd did you manage to keep them in the primer pocket?
Magic Putty.
Too few cups of coffee. Corrected post and thanks.
