[QUOTE="19 Badger, post: 2002946, member: 107918"] I shoot the 110 Hammer Hunters and just tried the 109 Absolutes in my factory barreled Tikka Superlight 6.5 cm with a 8" twist. My current proven load is 41.9 grains of Varget @ 3115 fps with the 110 Hammer Hunters, that is where I started and went up from there with the same CBTO 2.115". Loads became compressed with 42.8 grains with only a 45 fps gain over regular 110 HH's. I have attached my target with my data using Varget powder. Steve did let me know that I will probably have to move up to a faster burning powder when using the Absolute's but recommended starting with the Varget and see how much more I could get out of my case capacity (Lapua brass). Even after loading another .9 grains of Varget from my normal load, the group still managed to hang around at a very respectable .750" from a 100 yards. I then switched to IMR 8208 XBR and will attach those findings shortly. All velocities were recorded with a Chrony @ 10' from muzzle. [/QUOTE]
