[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1269258, member: 10291"] An effective alternative to getting more velocity/energy would be to switch your powder to a slower burner like Retumbo or R26, potentially getting an additional 200FPS over your current load using the same 140 Berger. Using these powders, it's also possible that you wouldn't trade off, or could even improve barrel life using these slower powders, even at the increased velocity. The concern with the 155gr Lapua bullet would be the stability if you have a 1:8 twist, and the lower BC. IMO. [/QUOTE]
