[QUOTE="HandgunHTR, post: 3012941, member: 126524"] I decided that H100V wasn't going to give me the velocity I wanted before hitting pressure, so I continued upward with the VV550. Here is what I shot today. Load specs are: ADG brass (fireformed only), 225 grain Nosler ABs, Rem 9.5M primer, 3.160 COAL VV550 70.5 - 2875 fps, 5.3 SD 71.0 - 2894 fps, 5.0 SD 71.5 - 2922 fps, 15.7 SD 72.0 - 2946 fps, 12.4 SD - slight bolt lift stiffness Interestingly enough, the 71.5 5-shot group measured 0.640" and the 72.0 group measured 0.876". The other two groups were over an inch. I will load up a few more in the 71.5 range to shoot some more groups. If it continues to shoot those groups, I will use this load for my Nilgai hunt in Feb. I also have some 250 grain Accubonds and some 250 grain Lapua Scenars that I will load some ladders for and see what happens with those as well. [/QUOTE]
