[QUOTE="James H, post: 165879, member: 5449"] Wildcat I'm running the 70gr smks at 3550 out of a 24" pipe using 33.8gr H-322. That is about 3 grains over Hodgdons max load and slightly more will loosen primer pockets in Lapua brass with my chamber. I am just working up loads for the 68gr Barts and 75gr Vmax but in my rifles, both 24" barrels 3500 is attainable with the V-maxes. Right now I am trying to shrink groups trying different powders, H-335 & H BL-C2. I was going to shoot them today but was unable to get time during daylight. When I built both rifles the only ranges around were 100-300yds that is the reason for the 14 twist barrels. This fall The range at Grand Island started holding 200 and 600 yd meets. Had I known then what I know now at least one would be an 8 or 8.5 twist. I have not tried the Ballistic tips and I may not as the first match I went to at GI I won the 200 group with the Sierras, but didn't do as well at the 600 with it which is the reason for testing with the 75gr v-maxes.
