    @Pop Shot runs 162 Amax in his t3 708, but I'm sure he's running long action mag etc.

    Yup! As mentioned above, I'm running the 162gr Amax over 42.7gr 2208 for 2650fps (20" tube). Seated nice and long (2.910" from memory). Seems to shoot alright eh.

    Yip have them going 2600 in my t3 with 20 inch barrel. hornady brass, 41.5gr of 2208 and 2,810" shoots 3/4 Moa out to 600yards. Haven't taken that many animals yet but seems to be a bit tougher than the old amaxs

    the 45 g of 09 went quite a bit tighter than the 41 of 08.
    will be doing more shooting soon!
