Thanks for all of the replies. I tried 45.5grns 2206H today. No pressure signs. Grouped .5" for 3 shots. Velocity 2904fps (18" barrel, Sako A7). That will probably do it. I could go to 46grns but...

I was defining 'efficiency' as the highest velocity. Wasted energy is not ultimately 'wasted' if it produces higher velocity in my definition.

The last one i shot using the sf 168gr eldm worked a treat though at 30 yards. Opened up nicely, much better than sst imo as I find they only work well past 100yards but eldm seems to open up...

Ended up switching powders as i was having hard time with the 2208 strangley enough. 2206h was the winner in the end, thanks to superdiver for the advice on that

dannyb Looking at Quickload, 2209 isnt a great choice, you will be @ 108-110% fill rate, hence the crunching powder. You are only at a burn rate of 90% in the 17" barrel, and the velocity isnt as...
