[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 104951, member: 2212"] Krazy, You ran out of powder!! Really, you passed the efficiency point of that powder. If you monitored the SD, you would have usually seen the SD getting better to 77 or 78 grains and then open up. You'll need to go to a slower powder to go any faster. Also, I usually start Barnes bullets at .050 and the work up my loads. After I find the speed I want, I then shoot groups going in & out with the OAL to see if I can find the sweet spot. But be careful, pressure goes up as you seat closer to the lands and down as you seat the bullet deeper and further off the lands. Some rifle shoot best at .100+ off the lands! Find your sweet spot and then adjust powder charge for speed and accuracy. I would go to the 168 match bullet TSX myself. BC is lower, but accuracy is usually better. Good luck.
