[QUOTE="WWP2012, post: 2781856, member: 108485"] Finally got out to trying this combo today. I’ve been working with 160 Accubonds and that kept me satisfied till today. Too nice of a day to not go to the range. Just a note about what follows, I have noticed that 3 groove Lilja barrels have produced excellent velocities with the Barnes LRX. Both barrels I have shoot faster than any published data I have found. **** This was my rifle and my lot of powder, proceed with caution if you use this info, yours may well be different. **** Here are the details: 280 Ackley 24” Lilja 3 groove 9 twist N555 & FED 210m 59gr = 3137 FPS 59.5gr = 3172 FPS 59.7gr = 3190 FPS 60gr = 3215 FPS (Max in my rifle) 60.5gr = 3229 FPS (this was too hot, primer starting to flatten). I was pretty happy with those results, case capacity was where I like it at the base of the shoulder. That was using a 6” drop tube. [/QUOTE]
