[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1264993, member: 90674"] I've played with the 168 Bergers, and got up to 2950 fps with a 24" barrel. I think you should be able to easily get 2750 with the 180's (maybe even 2800, especially with a 26" barrel). I just haven't tried it yet. Not really familiar with ADI powders. As I understand it, it's the Australian version of Hodgdon. I'd probably look for a slower powder, maybe AR2217 or AR2225 (I believe those are equivalent to H1000 and Retumbo). Maybe I way off base on the powders, but I still believe you should be able to do better with velocity. [/QUOTE]
