[QUOTE="Trap708, post: 1605421, member: 109377"] I agree, heck 46 grains of Rel 17 got me just a little over 2800 fps. Due to the seasonal changes here in Texas fixxing to occur I decided to lower that load to 45 grains of Rel 17 and I’m getting 2750 ish. The velocity seems to be there for me. I just got a little concerned with velocities achieved compared to what the latest Hornady manual showed. Heck, I’m happy with 2750 ish. But thought here recently that Rel 16 ought to be the ticket being non temp sensitive and deciphering additive. Today Rel 16, with what loading info (1 loading thru Alliant for a 160 grn and it’s a Barnes bullet) available got real good accuracy with 42 to 44 grains with max velocity at range on the 44 grn Rel 16 load of just a tad over 2600 fps . I think that I can still go up some with the 16. Hope to maintain the accuracy and get a little more velocity yet. We’ll proceed cautiously! Anyone else have any results they would share? [/QUOTE]
