Im useing n165 becsuase Iv got a heap of it, the 105 vlds are nudging 3100. anything in the 2213sc R119, R22 range will be worth a try.

I think I can get enough 2217 in. 47g in the standard 243 is about 90%.

I gave up on speed a while ago. 3300 from a 7RemMag with 162 Amax was cool until I saw the insides of the barrel. That was with N560 too. A nice accurate load @ 3K would be ideal with the 105s and maybe a shade more with the 95s.
