    @gimp. My Tikka. I just cant decide whether to cut the barrel back to 20" or not. I like the 2930fps it generates with the 77grn and don't want to sacrifice that really.

    18" = 2800 with 80gr, loaded long. 25gr 2208. Could probably get more out of it

    @gimp have you tried AR 2206H with those 80gr ELDM's? I see you use 25gr of 2208 but was wondering what that may convert to using 2206H.

    Also what primers are you using?

    Thanks Adam
