Struggling to get to 2600 with 2206h/1grain over max.

Any suggestions for powder change?

Also will probably try 150 SGK as suggested by others- if velocity is similar will go that way.

Thanks

This is the exact load I was about to work up to in my rifle, so interested to hear that.

I don't have a chrono but will report back on accuracy. If I don't have much joy with 2206 I'll give cfe223 a whirl for sure.
