[QUOTE="dirtytough, post: 1877881, member: 6597"] I tested the 245, RL 26, Hornady brass and 210m. Going off memory the 73.5 grain load showed a slight ejector mark. 2835ish FPS. 73 was fine around 2820. 74 was a definite mark and slight lift at 2875ish. 26” proof. My rifle shoots the factory 225 eld at 2882 fps as a reference. I’ve got about 125 rounds down the barrel. I just shot some factory loads last week and they were around 2880-2890 fps. So I expect my barrel to speed up a little still. I would try RL 33 but I have read there are major temp issues with it. I’ve got some LRT to try and I might try some Norma 217. The 245 @2825 fps beats out the 215 @3000 fps in both wind drift and energy at 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
