[QUOTE="Muttt, post: 679072, member: 41202"] I've worked up a very similar load using 168 gr bullets. I use AA2520 instead of RL15. Anyway, I found two distinct accuracy nodes. The first was very near minimum. The second was right at 42.7 gr. The max for this load is 44 grains. As I went higher in the load (closer to max) I lost accuracy. The higher velocity meant nothing if I couldn't group well. So, I went with lower load. It chrono's at about 2660, which is only about 40 fps below the 2700 that factory hornady match will give you. Go with accuracy and not the highest velocity. [/QUOTE]
