    That's my hope @distant stalker with the IMR 7828 you'll see (from the chart comparison) you potentially don't need quite as much to hit the 2900 mark let alone the 2800. Hope fully that will allow me to seat the projectile a little deeper without compression in a standard Tikka mag. However if it doesn't I know I can go up the ladder and just single load them fine. If I dial back a bit look for the accuracy sweet spot where lets face it Id be happy dropping beasts out to 600 ethically all day long. No need to get into a speed race for ever decreasing returns.

    As it is I have to wait awhile between rounds to shoot groups because of the heat generated by the over barrel supressor - but I'm used to that so single feed is not really a issue and maintain optimal cheek weld for consistency with a old hair tie taped to where my cheekbone touches the stock to ensure the same eye relief every time off the bags.

    So has anybody shot this config before and can give me a similar sweet spot to start above and below? (i.e a ladder) if not I'm gonna start midway and do .5 grain increases till I see a pattern at 200m.
