    Yip, that sounds quite short.

    Normal club loads with 2208 is 45.0, I started seeing some pressure signs around 45.5

    For 155 Scenars I am using 44.5 2206h with no issues, my go-to long range load, used these out to 1200 @ Wairarapa superlongs, in comparison the 2208 loads were getting suspect above 900yds.

    Switching to Dyers for next season, can't get any moe Scenars from NRA...

    Bugger. Nosler customs I guess. I buy all my own anyway so I'll stay with scenars I think. May give the bergers a hoon to see if they'll work in this barrel.
