[QUOTE="TJW, post: 1006374, member: 12413"] Hi Guys, So this is the problem I am having. I have loaded the hornady's 225's up to 75.0 gr of H1000 and had my groups stay under 0.5 MOA out to 1000m (last was at 1015m and 3-shot group was 4.75"). The problem is its slow, only around 2730 fps, and I am starting to have pressure signs on the brass (Norma). I am trying to get my gun to like 208 amaxs, but its being difficult. last load was 76gr of H1000 which shot 0.75 MOA at 100m and approx 2800 fps. Is it worth pursuing the 208's or stick with the 225's? The rifle is a factory Remington milspec with 26" barrel. I know if the 208's can be made to go faster they will be better than my 225gr load out to 1600m. [/QUOTE]
