Re: Hand load to hot!!
77 grains is listed as Noslers max load for that bullet/powder/caliber combo but, thats in thier test barrel. Work up to it and watch for pressure signs.
Nosler lists' 75.5 grains of RL22 as the most accurate powder/load tested for the 180's. 3,118fps in their barrel.

Ok thanks for the info, would rather do the testing with the 208 a-max, but seems to be a pain in the rear to find them. I had the 180s already and some data from a buddy, just think the 208 hold the wind a little better.
