[QUOTE="Jon2, post: 208180, member: 5149"] Hi MR I have an 85 stn/syn in .300 WSM and bought it for longranging as well as shorter conventional stuff. I have a NXS 3.5-15 x 50 on board and I have just developed a load with 180 grn BT's with 68 grns of RL22 behind. The good news is it groups sub half no problems. The bad news is I chrono'd the load and disappointingly the reading was 2800 fps. The load is .3 of a grn below max. I have no problem with going over a grn or two but not much more than that. Mine didn't shoot with 165 grn bullets (was getting about 1 to 1.5" group). I am going to use N560 next to squeeze sum extra juice out of it as I would like to get over 2900 feet - ideally around 3000. I know that 100 feet is neither here or there but I may have well gone with a .30-06 if I was happy with that vel. Not that there is anything wrong with .30-06 - great cartridge - it's just that I want some more out of the short mag. Have you got any data for 4350? What velocities does the data say you can obtain with a 180 grn bullet? Thanks and regards JB [/QUOTE]
