[QUOTE="valleyloader, post: 915878, member: 73166"] 43.5 is a great place to start, I would work up in .5 grain increments checking for signs of pressure. You will most likely will find an accuracy node between 2700-2750 fps. The Hodgdon book lists 46.0 grains as max. and my Remington with a factory 26" bbl likes that powder charge with the 168 gr. bullets. I would however recommend trying some 175 grain bullets, reducing the charge of course. They have proven to be very accurate and better at the farther distances in my rifle and many others. [/QUOTE]
