    2500 with the 16". A little less with the 14.5". Hot load to do so. With a 19" barrel and quality brass you should be able to see around the 2600 mark staying within saami pressure limits, certainly more if your comfortable pushing the limits a bit.

    No need for Superformance. I load for my mate and he’s getting that with 2208 and the 162s
