[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 242348, member: 7194"] Thanks for the info, that was exactly what I needed to know. As soon as I get over deer fever I am going to get back on my quest to win at f-class by running a heavy high BC bullet through a .308 win faster than anyone else can, and thus gain a wind advantage. I am hoping that an extremely long throat plus a slightly compressed load of slow powder will be the ticket. I am still not as good at reading mirage as a lot of the guys and feel that I need the advantage to be competitive. I am not a fan of VV550 and havent used it much except in a 223 with heavy bullets, and will shy away from it in the future. 560 on the other hand is one of my favorite powders. I have been running it in one of my 6x47s for a while now. I had close to 1K rounds down range with n160 and 107 lapuas before I swithched to 115 moly Dtacs and VV560. I have about 2600 rounds down this tube now, the throat looks a little scary but it is still shooting lots of x s. I shoot 560 in the 300WM, 300WSM, 7WSM, 243AI, and 06AI with great results. I cant say that it isnt toasting my barrels but with the few rounds I put through most of them they will last my lifetime anyway. When I get my new barrel chambered for my match rifle I will try out RL17 in the 6x47, but am not expecting a while lot of improvement. I for one really appreciate all of the testing that you do. Thanks for sharing here and on BR central I always look forward to your posts on technical stuff. [/QUOTE]
