[QUOTE="brentc, post: 659867, member: 16938"] You're probably best off using a bullet that is less sensitive to jumping to the lands. I had a browning Stainless stalker that shot great, the limiting factor was the short magazine. Mine shot the best with Hornady 165 to 180 grainers with RL17 and H4350. 65.5 grains of H4350 with a CCI250 and a 180 SST in Win brass at OAL 2.855 this was a one hole load at 2950 fps with my Abolt. BTW H4350 worked with every bullet I tried in my Browning. I believe you're on the right track with the powders you're using. The only thing I would say is concentrate a little more on finding a seating depth before you get too experimental with powder. You're going to be jumping a good bit. My method was to find the sweet spot for powder and then tune the seating depth in from magazine length in .020 increments to 2.800. I always found a load in there that worked. Another good load for me was 168 Nosler Etip on top of 67-67.5 grains of RL17. this should get you to around 3200 fps with good accuracy once you find a seating depth. Mine liked 2.820 with the Etip in this load combo. [/QUOTE]
