What powder are you using to get 2500 from 14.5 inch. I can't even get that from my factory length howa

ADI BM8208 is the grendels best friend.
My 14.5" trueflight barrel got 2550fps with 123gr Lapua scenars with 27.8gr of 8208.
You might find youd get more speed with a slower powder like Aliant power pro varmint in that longer barrel. The 8208 is best for short barrels. I run 28gr with 120gr eldms and 120gr targex in 12.5" the factory howa barrels I've tested which gets about 2320fps
@Wingman did you go to Talley extended rings or just standard? You had previously mentioned that you’d fitted Talley ultra-lows. Not wanting to put a rail on mine but want to make sure the scope will push forward enough.
Having just said that, I guess I’ll have to consider the rail option if I run a red dot and then will need another set of rings for a scope for ease of interchangeability.
Just depends what suppliers have in stock.. stock levels seem low or unavailable on many products
I hear what you’re saying. My first 30mm tube scope, which is a lot more common nowadays, is making it harder. The one downside of living here is the inability to just pop down to the shop to browse. Have to do as much research online as I can then get on the phone to check for stock. Hopefully I’ll get to Invers next week and pick up what I need but I try to always have a backup plan.
@Wingman do you think you could blob a r93 “bedding block action” in one of these if I provided the action?
I found a set of 30mm lows in my draw from when I ordered a bunch to find out the best set up for mine. Went with the ultra lows but they are too low for most people.
These are available if they get you running
