So I have a savage model 10 in 308 that's giving me some faster than expected results with 175 SMK's. 43.5 grains of TAC loaded to 2.800 should give me 2650 according to Ramshot's data. Im getting 2795 as an average with less than a 10FPS E.S. from my last loads. I know that some barrels will give faster velocities than others but 150 FPS seems like a lot. I checked my scale twice and I know the load is correct. No sticky bolt lift, no primer problems at all. So far this load holds MOA out to 600. My question is, Has anyone had a load differ this much from the manual? should I be concerned? Or should I just keep shooting this load because its a hammer so far?
