[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1077000, member: 52437"] Honestly I wasn't exactly looking for more speed only. This rifle...no matter which powder I use has always shot slower than book numbers. Sometimes a good deal slower. I was doing an OCW test and reached the higher charge I got to with no signs of pressure. Well it turned out the OCW range was right at .5-1.2 grains above max. All these shots had similar points of impact. So I chose .8 which was in the middle and wanted to wait for warm weather to test pressures again to ensure safety. This load is super accurate and just has the bonus of decent velocity but yes the charge is above book value which did worry me a bit. I loaded up 35 rounds of this which is the last of the powder I had. Once these are gone I will go after different powder combo. [/QUOTE]
