[QUOTE="GA Sheephunter, post: 2698152, member: 102497"] My Nosler manual (I'm shooting 140gr Ballistic Tips) loads are all based on a 26" barrel. I realize I can just subtract 130 fps (23 fps x 6 inches) to guess my velocity, but I am wondering if I am blowing alot of the powder out the end because it's too slow burning. I have tried multiple Reloder 15 and Reloder 19 recipes, and have surprisingly gotten the better accuracy out of 45gr of Reloder 19. Sub 1 inch 3 shot groups @ 100 yds....But.... I can't leave well enough along and want to see if I can find a load with higher velocity. Guessing I'm around 2542 fps right now, and would like to get closer to 2700 if possible Remember, 20 inch barrel What powders would you all recommend? [/QUOTE]
