Yup. Best velocities came from 17 but you just couldn't get it when needed.

2209/4350 were reliable and accurate but pretty pedestrian in my barrel.

I can't remember who, but someone on here suggested to try W760 and I did. Havent looked back.

I still use 2209 for 140 class and up but rarely shoot them now apart from a bit of steel.

Cheap and dirty old Hornady 129 interlock is as accurate and deadly in close and far out as I need it to be. Barrel has had a few rounds down it now and going well.

Looking to get a 7mm barrel of some description done for steel and so I can take my own rifle on a moose hunt overseas. Unless KJ lends me his 7mag barrel

Have you tried superformance powder with the 140s Mate? With Lapua brass it really gets things chugging.

Yup. Didn't get much more velocity than 2209 in my barrel which is 24" Accurate tho.
