[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 784901, member: 1007"] If you ever want more velocity try RL17 or VV N-550. You'll see we'll over 2600 with R17, even 2700 with a 26" barrel but it takes 48-50 grains which means they have to be loaded very long. I find that N550 settles better and takes less to see 2600. I can easily load them to fit the Wyatt box on my 700 with .025" to spare. You can't reach the same speeds as R17 with N550 without seeing pressure but all things considered, it's a better load. I just shot a .297" 3 shot at 100 yards today with one rifle and a .016 the other day with my other rifle. I also shot a 2" group at 300 yards today which considering the wind, snow and fog was quite a feat. This load consistently shoots exceptionally well. My best 300 yard group was with this load. 0.268". [/QUOTE]
