It is Working, but How?

Best grouping load tested among the regular Varget burn rate powders. No over pressure signs so far.

The 30" barrel does a lot as far as the speed. Sometimes you just gotta think outside the box. Just because a company didn't try that combination doesn't mean we can't. What twist barrel?

True that. 1-10T

So much for slower powders being faster in a longer barrel!

This doesn't seem abnormal to me. N140 and N150 are both common in the 30-32" barrels with 200s in FTR. N135 is faster burning, but that doesn't mean it won't work. Typically the FTR loads are 2640-2680 with Varget, H4895, N140, and N150. The faster N135 being 2550 doesn't surprise me. It's not optimum for the bullet weight or cartridge, that's doesn't mean it won't work though since you're getting good groups with this combo.

Less recoil too!
