[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2525050, member: 118512"] I didn’t put a lot of work into the 143’s or the 155’s; I might go back and work on them some more though. I was maxing out with pressure around 3,200 fps with the 143’s, around 3,100 with the 155’s, and mid 3,000’s with the 169’s. About 100 fps slower than where I was hoping to be with the lighter pills but decent velocity with the 169’s and that’s why I was putting more time into the heavier bullets. If I could get up into the 3,300’s with the 143’s or 3,200’s with the 155’s I’d stay with lighters but IMR-4831 just won’t do it; but IMR-7828ssc does great with the 169’s so im gonna fine tune that load. Right now it’s shooting around 1”-1 1/4” groups at 300 yards so not too bad around 1/3 MOA right now. A little more fine tuning I can get it shooting under 1/4” though I think. [/QUOTE]
