    2208/varget at 26 gns behind at 69 will give you 3000 fps and great accuracy. Any more that 26 is getting a compressed load.

    I have 25.2gr of 2206h behind a 69gr targex in mine. I went up to 25.5gr and had no pressure signs but the 25.2gr group was slightly better and I just wanted to play it safe. Is still leaving a 16inch barrel at 2800fps

    Yeah nice. I have just recently ordered some Targex to try, as TMKs are like hen's teeth... Story of my life every time I find a good load....

    Think I'll try 25.2, 25.5 (which most people seem to be having success with) and 25.8 (what the rifle currently likes with the Sierra's) of 2206HakaH4895 behind the 69gr Targex this weekend and see how they go...
