I am currently running 44.7 gr of varget behind a 155 amax. i chrono'd at 2690 avg speed. it gives really sweet accuracy inside of 400 yards, and pretty nice to 600, but the problem is im dialing 16.5 minutes of elevation to 600 yards, where with my plinking ammo im dialing 14.8 moa to 600.

im using lake city brass, and average case capacity in grains of water across 10 cases was 56.2gr. im also running a winchester large rifle primer. coal is 2.880" what would it take to get this load up to 2750 or better yet up around 2800-2850?
thanks in advance

Depending on your tube, 46-47grs of Varget should get you up close to 2900+ fps with the 155s.

Re: got a favor for somebody with quickload

I figured. but what is bugging me at 44.7grs its holding 2680fps. and with the factory load from hornady i clocked it just a hair under 2800. so what gives? (hornady said their powder is their own proprietary verson of varget)

I guess im going to have to wait for 20 days till i get home to see what the deal is
