[QUOTE="Adikted, post: 1225391, member: 91925"] I just got a closeout Tikka T3 with a 1/11 twist so I'm kinda limited on how heavy a bullet I can use. I tried using IMR4831 as I'm sitting on a keg of it but the only load that shot acceptably was around 2900 fps. Everything else shot like complete garbage. My biggest concern is that I don't want to end up buying 5 different powders looking for one that works, not to mention all the trips to the range (been 4 times already) so I'm curious to know if there's a powder that's pretty likely to produce good groups and decent SD from the starting load to the max? I'm not obsessed with speed but I don't think 3000 is asking too much. I've seen H1000 loads posted quite a bit, is it a pretty safe bet or should I be looking in a different direction? Also what primers have you guys had success with. I wound up trying WLRM, CCI 250, and BR-2's. The WLRM's produced the most velocity but grouped awful, The CCI's shot Identical velocities but the groups on the BR-2's were half the size, I'm worried the BR-2's wont be strong enough for H1000, unfounded?
