Book max is 38 , so obviously I'll be working up with extreme caution and checking for pressure signs at every increment.

I cant wait to test this

What muzzle velocity are you getting @Neckshot ?

You can have anything you want up to about 3350.

My hunting load with an 80 grn Speer and n550 was 3270 fps. 20" barrel. This was .5 grn back from light ejector marks on win cases.
I use 95 Targex now. They are a nice balance of weight, speed and oomph. 41.1 grns n550 for them. Lapua cases. 3070 fps from the same rifle. Touching lands.
