[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 114392, member: 3728"] You should expect at least 3550 out ofthe 140 in a 26" Shelin and 3300-3350 out of a 154g SST or Interbond using IMR 7828 with 215's. Accuracy will be on the gilt edge of a max load for your rifle with this powder. Another thing that is very wierd about this round, it may shoot the same size group at 200 & 300 yds and really not increase much in size all the way out to 550. I use a Burris 8-32 Black diamond and so does my brother. We shoot various ranges, mark the target dial, use a Leica 1200 when we can, nothing but dead deer when using this system, and 500 yards is a chip shot when your rifle groups 3 1/2" at 550. I urge you to get into reloading for this cartridge ASAP, the factory loads are dogs. If you use Rem brass, you will have very short case life unless you are really shooting mid throttle loads. Winchester will take 5 loadings at least. [/QUOTE]
