    708-X Bolt 16 inch is slow

    Xbolt 708, barrel is 16 inch-
    loading 130 Speer hot cor for Sika up close.

    Struggling to get to 2600 with 2206h/1grain over max.

    Any suggestions for powder change?

    Also will probably try 150 SGK as suggested by others- if velocity is similar will go that way.

    Thanks
    Ants
