[QUOTE="blf, post: 20711, member: 38"] You might try these loads. It proved successful in my rifle which also didn't initially like 175's: 1. Sierra 175 gr. Match, VV N-550 @ 47.5 grs., FedGM brass and Fed 210M primers. This gives an honest 2750 fps at the muzzle in my rifle. 2. Hornady 178 gr. A-Max - same powder, measure, brass and primer. This is a VLD type bullet and looks like it gives slightly more muzzle velocity, maybe 2770 or 2780. I only got three good readings out of ten from my chrono, the rest came up ERR1. However, at this point I am not completely sure that a 1 in 12 twist barrel sufficiently stabilizes this bullet, so I need to test again at range. If the groups hold up, this will be a decent load.
