If you are shooting FTR its a bit light as they go for 185's and 200's in that, and as said its too slow past 800 yds.
BUt have at it, if its for other uses.

Yep, just starting to develop a load for Berger's 200.20x for my FTR rifle.

As above, if shooting anything heavier than 155 places you in the FTR class where you are up against people using the very best projectiles available (read high BC). Also the manufacturers particularly Berger seem to have a lot of activity in the 30 cal range. My 200.20x projectiles were the darlings but have been superceded (surpased) but another.
I won't be going there, chasing each improvement but lots do.
