In my rifle I found the LOWEST SD and BEST accuracy at 1000 yards was with the H414 powder at 44 Grains.
At 600 yards i could not distinguish a more accurate load combination.

The Lake City Brass was slightly heavier and less case volume than the Lapua. ie.... slightly higher velocity/pressure with Lake City over the Lapua

46.2 gr of Ramshot Big Game under 162 Amax. Necked down 308 Lapua "palma" cases w/ CCI 450 primer. 2820 fps and I can shoot a baseball size group to 435 y.

162 Amax is a great round on WT deer.
