[QUOTE="cape cove, post: 1975354, member: 95503"] Wish you the best in your endevour. In my 24" barreled Vanguard I max out at 71 grs of 7828 with the 120 gr Speer. I have found that RL-33 and RL-26 gave me the highest velocity with 120 gr bullets but the accuracy just wasn't good enough. RL-22 gave me good velocity and the accuracy I was looking for. By the way both RL-33 and 26 got me close to 3400 ft/sec with the 120's. I found this good considering a 24" barrel. I feel that your best bet to achieve the velocity your after would be with RL-26. With RL-33 you may not be able to get enough in the case as this is a very slow powder. With RL-33 I got to 81 grs and was very compressed, but with RL-26 my max was 71 grs. If your rifle can handle enough RL-26 then this may be your best bet. Let us know how you make out. [/QUOTE]
