I use it in my 708 Kimber (18") under 140 NABs but have no idea how fast they are going.
Have settled on 47gr (not a starting load) as most accurate.
Interesting that although this rifle has always been accurate it is more so since the barrel chop.
Less whip in the skinny barrel I guess.

Im using 47gr RL17 with the 150 ELD-X, seated out long though in LA magazine. Chrony gave MV of 2835, shooting out to 450yrds confirms this. According to the calculators plenty of horsepower for as far as im likely to ever shoot.
