Does anybody load 168 SMK with the same load as 175 SMK w/ IMR 4895

[waste_knot]

My normal load is 42.7gr IMR 4895 168 SMK @ 2650. Can I get the same speed out of a 175 SMK

Used to do it all the time in daily QC production testing. I always used the same load for testing both the 168s and 175s, but used a variety of powders. IMR and H4895, RL-15, Varget and several others. Same load, whatever that may have been, and it never failed to shoot with both bullets equally well. I generally ran both bullets at about 2,600 fps from a 308.

I always seem to lose about 20 fps give or take.
