    Yeh I'd agree as I had a Kimber and had the 150 AB at 3150 and the 162 up to 2960-2990. No pressure but plenty of boot and some of the powders I was using were too temperate sensitive and on one day would be 40 fps slower and the next the same but faster so I settled with ADI 2217.

    That's some impressive speeds. I hear what you're saying about temp stability - thats the other reason I'm keen to stick with ADI as they seem more consistent. Do you mind sharing what load of 2217 you settled on & what velocity you were getting?
