Had the 162’s doing 2740 mag fit in an 18”mod7 saum using v100. They performed well in close and out to a tad over 500yd(longest shot I did with the short barrel) on everything. IMHO they are a good do near everything projectile for 0 - 600yd at the velocities mentioned throughout this thread. 😎

Plenty of people publish their load data, but Kelton has something against this for some reason. People are adults and can make that call themselves, if they can't then they shouldn't be reloading.

Correct this is a forum its a wealth of load data but often top end loads are exchanged via pm one of my reasons for doing do is so its not found on google . Peoples level of experience vary and I dont want to contributeto damaged gear or worse injury.

The same cartridge doesnt mean you can use the same data. Between my rifle and a good friends hes 70fps faster for the exact same charge same brand barrel same reamer.


2208 will see these velocitys in certain rifles not in others plain and simple yes some powders will be faster some will be slower some will hit pressure quicker itll depend on the individual rifle.
