    With N560 I get 2840fps with 21.5" barrel and N560. 139 grn SST and AMax. Half MOA.
    To me, that's the gold standard.

    To be fair though I haven't tried it with 129 grn.

    W760 used to give me an easy 2900 with 120grn balistic tips.

    That is excellent, @Tahr. Good job. Ahhhh now I want to get some N560. Got some Sierra 140 GameKings, could try them. Plus some Sierra 120 gn Pro Hunters sitting around and some very old Nosler Solid Base also in 120. Maybe W760 for them but these powders never seem to be in stock. Also a small number of Nosler 130 gn Accubonds.
