[QUOTE="Festus, post: 82738, member: 4563"] You didn't mention what velocities you and your buddy are getting. Obviously powder that is burning outside the barrel is not contributing to additional velocity and sometimes you can gain a bit by going with a faster powder. Take a look at [url="http://www.reloadersnest.com"]www.reloadersnest.com[/url] - there are a couple of loads listed there for the 139 gr. bullet with the 16.5" barrel, one using RL-15 and the other Varget. You could try H4895 or IMR 4064 or you could even try H-322. I think your friend might have you by 100 fps or so but you might close the gap a bit. Good Luck, Festus [/QUOTE]
