[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 919738, member: 8"] From the data Kirby posted for the 175 SMK, you are at the bottom end of the load for a 180 and WC 872 Kirby said velocities were very inconsistent at 107 grains for he 175 gr SMK at 75 degrees F and his altitude. I would surmise that the 180 Berger being much softer and compressible bullet than the SMK and you being way way colder just started getting very poor burning of the powder and never got up to pressure. I never got WC872 to shot well in mine. It was just really dirty which I suppose was that I didn't get to the right load range myself [/QUOTE]
