I am in the process of starting to load for my LMT MWS, and will be loading both 178gr. AMax's and 150gr. BT's, as I have a ton of these. Have heard less than stellar reviews of 150gr. performance in this rifle, but might as well try some, anyway.

My interest in powder choices is in trying to find a burn rate that gets total or near total burn within the 16 inches of barrel I have, to help with flash suppression and for efficiency. Let me know if I am way off here, but I think there should be a suitable powder or two out there with a burn rate that will get me where I want to be. If anyone else has experience with this and can chime in, it might save me a bunch of money and time trying different powders.
