    Just to follow this up with a conclusion: Exactly the same results that Pauli posted -

    I can get 25 grains into Norma cases (neck sized) if I trickle it in slowly with a bit of a drop, to the extent that it is compressed, but not by much. I am loading 55 grain Hornady SP's seated out to touch the rifling.

    Accuracy at 100 metres for five shot groups was 0.7 of an inch, and 0.9 of an inch.

    Chronographed at 3021 fps

    Rifle is a Sako Vixen with a 23.5 inch sporter barrel. Scope is only a 5x so it possible the groups might be a tad tighter with a higher power scope.
