    Totally agree with the above. This load is for the older and slower version of AR2209. Current data from Nosler lists 57.5 grains of H4350 (AR2209) with the 165/168 grain projectile MAX. It pays to...

    Happy Birthday Trout, You should be 75 like me in about 27 old codger months. Old codger time is the apparent time between events from our point of view. Regards Grandpamac.
