[QUOTE="liltank, post: 268121, member: 13275"] I know this isn't apples to apples, but I am getting 2530fps out of an 18" barrel with 40.5grns IMR-4895 with a 175grn FMJ lead core. I'm guessing if you use 46.4 (Max according to Hornady's load manual) and work up from there you will get your desired speed. This load is used in a tight comp chamber. It is the most accurate I have found for this rifle and that particular bullet. According to the Nosler manual 46.0grns RL15 will give a velocity of 2958. My next choice by Sierra would be the max charge of 45.5grns IMR-4064. I have had alot of good luck with the 4064. And then the old stand by.... Varget. Start some where around 46.5grns and work up. All of these loads are assumptions for your rifle. Solid bullets will manage a hotter load than normal and shoot faster due to the nature of the bullet. I know this is vague in the load data, but not having your rifle in hand and not shooting the VTR, this the best I could do. As with all reloading, start 10% below Max just to be safe. I have found that loading over max is normal and generally safe, but that is just in my rifles. ;) Shoot Safe, Tank [/QUOTE]
