Thread: 284 Powder and Bullet advice

What velocity are you getting with 54grns kiwijames?

I'll tell you tomorrow but IIRC had something like 2850.
I'm seated a long way off too. This is a 160TMK seated to just touch. I had my throat cut deeper last week as I wanted to make the most of the case capacity.
