[QUOTE="cooperjd, post: 2095608, member: 116132"] YMMV of course, but with the 4166 in my rifle (Tikka T3X) 42.5gr is where I am going to consider my max. I got an ever so slightly tight bolt at 42.8, ejector mark and heavy bolt at 43, and blew a primer at 43.3. somewhere in the 42.0-42.5gr range is where I'm going to play next. Should give me a comfortable ~3,130ish fps. I am seeing that Tikka's are generally considered slow rifles, so with an extra inch of barrel and possibly a faster barrel I'm really interested to see your results. I was hoping for a safe 3,200 but it doesn't look like I"ll get there with the powders i have on hand. I could try H4350 but I think I may run out of case room before I reach the same velocity as the 4166. [/QUOTE]
