    @chainsaw Nice! That 55.7gr group is insane.

    Ive just looked back at my data to check velocity. My ladder was from 56gr up to 58.5gr (I was running a pretty long COAL thou) 58.5gr was the first sign of excess pressure, getting a click at the top of bolt lift and a pretty flat primer (I normally don't worry about flat primers on their own too much) That gave a velocity of 2,906 fps

    I found a sweet spot in my rifle around 57.0gr to 57.5gr. 57.5gr gave 2,859 fps. I ended up setting on 57gr at an average of 2,841 fps.

    22" factory M595 barrel (rechambered 7mm08)
