    I finally found out what speed I was getting.
    I went up too 26.2gr of BM2 which was ok accuracy, which was doing 3200fps.
    But I got better accuracy with 24.5gr and that was at 3000fps.

    I was hoping to get a load up too about 3200 or 3300, coz if I'm going to reload may as well try get the flattest shooting round I can get.
    I finished at 26.2 as I was told this was the max load, but perhaps I'll go higher as I didn't get any pressure signs.

    Failing that I'll run out of powder soon as a mate has started using it in his AR 15 (getting 3200 with 25.2gr funnily enough), so I could buy some BM1, which is ADI equivalent of N133, and then I don't have to go too Guncity, which is good.
