    My barrel is 21 inches from the action. I use 53.5g off 2209 and the 162 Amax is going 2750f/sec, it is extremely accurate, for a hunting rifle.

    Hey @craigc what overall length are you at? I have mine seated and throated for 3.180" so have heaps of powder capacity compared to saami specs.

    Also are you in Win or Lapua brass?
