[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 2147512, member: 85987"] WIth your 20" lever revolution will get you a good uptick in speed with the 180's as well cfe 223 and mr2000. In my 26" I shot a ladder last week with 185 jugs and 2800fps with brass that measured the same as my 43.3 grains of RL15/168smk load. I believe I will pressure out tomorrow with a higher top in the same powder. Very first time using this powder. I ran some cfe with the 195tmk with steller results. It looks like I will get more speed in the 25-35fps range with heavy bullets or 150 solids. I know it is proven in the 308 as a vender is using it for their premium offering. THe 195tmk in my rifle is running 2704 with cfe223. I tried 230 bergers(2)but the 12tw just isn't enough at 34' above sea level where I shoot most often. They were running 2515 but that had very flat primer no ejector mark but I think if I shot the third one in the warm barrel it would have shown up. [/QUOTE]
