[QUOTE="scheme, post: 2408293, member: 117961"] My blackjack load is with Ramshot Magnum, just because it was handy at the time I started. I’m pretty happy with it though, good velocity, good accuracy, ES and SDs are respectable, measures well, and it seems to burn clean. I’ve got some of the Berger 133s that I’m going to try with something else, probably RL 23 since I have a few pounds that aren’t needed for anything else, and have had good luck with it in a standard .25-06. Accurate/Ramshot sent me some .25-06AI data, but only up to 120 grain bullets. I used that and some standard .25-06 data to interpolate. I also just recently got a lot of good data for a standard .25-06 with the heavy bullets from Berger, so that’ll make things even easier. Both were quick to respond to email requests, and have always been good compared to other companies I’ve tried to get info from. I have started AI loads in the past (with fireformed brass) a little short (let’s say top 1/3) of the listed max in the standard version of the cartridge and just gone up slowly paying attention to the chrono. Seems to work for me, and I’m not one to push the limits, so at the first signs of pressure, I’m calling it good. Good luck with yours! [/QUOTE]
