[QUOTE="19 Badger, post: 2002961, member: 107918"] I then moved to some IMR 8028 XBR powder with the same rifle/109 Absolute combination. I started low at 37 grains and worked my way up to pressure (which I found @ 42.5 grains and 3270 fps). Minor bolt lift, no ejector marks but threw point of impact out of group so I decided to stop there. What amazed me is that up until I hit pressure at 42.5 grains, my load had increased by 5 whole grains (1 whole gr increments) along with an overall increase of 400 fps and still maintained a 6 shot group right at 1"! I will back off and work up a few loads and see if I can put together a load with IMR 8208 XBR, looks pretty promising tho. [/QUOTE]
