[QUOTE="pods8, post: 984124, member: 83233"] I've just started working up the 145gr LRX hoping it a good compromise of speed/ballistics/rugged construction versus going heavy cup and core. Not sure if that fits your desire at all. W/O alot of load data I initially just ran .5gr increments of varget from 40.5gr up, at 42gr I had primer blow by (I want to say velocity was something like 2830 turf) and I stopped right there (I unloaded the 42.5 and 43gr loads I had, I assumed I'd likely need to but brought them along in case). 40.5gr gave me 2775fps. I'm using that as an upper limit going forward for my gun/load. So I've loaded a .1gr ladder from 39.5-40.5gr to send down range next. I'm hoping something accurate will be in there and delivery 2750-2775 turf, we'll see. Need to get out on the range soon. [/QUOTE]
