[QUOTE="bbutturff, post: 1218756, member: 31436"] In my opinion Barnes data is a little conservative. However, you'll likely find the sweet spot is less than published max anyway. Start at 63 gr. and work up slowly watching for pressure signs. You'll probably find your best groups around 68 gr. Barnes bullets like a lot of jump too so start about .060 off the lands and adjust from there. Ever consider Reloder 17? I'm running the same bullet over 65.0 gr of RL17 and getting 3000 fps. Not even close to max and very accurate. Good luck, Bruce [/QUOTE]
