    Certainly a great cartridge that gets better the older it gets. It survived the US attempts to emasculate it with wimpy loads and many cartridges that tried to succeed it. GPM.

    Three powders have given me 2800 without pressure sighs. R22, imr4831 and n560. I use Norma cases and with the n560 load they are lasting well.

    Greetings All, I did quite a bit on this a few years back which I wrote up in a couple of articles in NZ Guns. The Hodgdons data seemed to fit the powder I had well including my older AR2209 but the...

    That load would be far too hot for any rifle with todays AR2209 which is significantly faster than the pre 2000 stuff. Regards Grandpamac.

    The God of chamberings! On my third factory barrel on my tikka. I have swapped from the 143eldx to the 147eldm. 2720 and is more accurate than I can shoot. Sent from my SM-A226B using Tapatalk

    Better performance than a Creedmore, more capacity. Under rated, in a modern rifle with modern barrel they are bloody good (but not trendy)
