    Had a bit of time today to try some loads through my rifle. Started with 48gns of W760 behind a 150 BT also loaded right up to 52gns. Went and shot today and found the faster I pushed them the better they shot, no pressure signs or hard bolt lift with 52gns. I’m not going to push it anymore than this as I think I’ve found the sweet spot. I will tweak the seating depth when I have a bit more time.
    This is the 52 gn group.
