Good components selection for the x 57 Mathias, how much 760 are you thinking 48 ish?

Yep 48, but I have a few moving up to 50 to see how she hangs. I have done up to 52gr with a Ruger M77 with no issues at all, but I'm not chasing the fps here.

6mm Creedmoor.
108g Berger BTT over Staball 6.5
5 shots into16mm at 186m
That'll do

I use 48 in my x57R, with 140/145. seems to be a sweet spot. 2750 fps area.

Been as high as 50 with 154s in my old 98. Ex mil tube, long throat. Surprisingly velocity was still only 2600.

The BSA has a long throat, to accommodate the old round nose 173gr from that vintage. Have a few Kynoch relics tucked away.
