Vitivory book says 21 tops, I have taken it out to 23g, ADI brass, with lab radar reading of 3110fps from a 65g Game King, with slight primer cratering, so have dropped back to 22g which shoots well, haven't got a speed for that yet.
Point being 23g and a standard oal round the powder still rattles. Could be useful for the longer pills.

Chronied today 22 grains, . the chrony es the was all over the place , not just my rifle either, so think his chrony is off, average 2915. Wanting 3000 so more messing round. I'll settle for where it shoots
