[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 211854, member: 1403"] So I got this vanguard in 300 WBY with only 24" tube. Realizing this is going to have some effect on velocity. Anyways, I have pretty much settled on 81g RL-22 w/180g NBT's. Its shooting .5" at 100 yards for 3 shots. Only thing is this, VELOCITY. On my cronograph, I"m only averaging 3075fps. Now I'm no rocket scientist, but this is only 300 Win Mag velocity. I see Factory 180's in 300 wby are loaded to 3250fps in 26" tube. 2" barrel dont make up for 175fps. Should I just live with the fact there only doing 3075fps and .5", or try and find a different load with a little more velocity?? BTW, IMR-7828 was giving me 3150-3250fps but accuracy sucked with 180g SST's. Never did try NBT's w/7828. Maybe I should give that a quick try? Since I was getting 3150-3250fps, I know the rifle is surely capable of producing the appropriate velocity. Should I switch powders or just stick with what I got? [/QUOTE]
