2820 is a little slower than i want to be with that bullet. I would settle for 2900ish with thay bullet powder combo. If I can not find accuracy at the velocity I want with a particular powder, i move on to another powder.
okay - it's a 22" tube remember and I'm not going to have temperature issues with the Alliant crap...
At 2,820 it's a 900 yard load which is plenty far for me and hunting....
That wasn'nt a knock on your post, Im sorry if it cane off that way. I was simply stating with a 26 inch barrel, I have a velocity range I expect to be in. If I cant get there with a particular powder with any accuracy, I'll move on to the next powder of choice.
If I fail to get there with any of them, I normally fall back to the one that had the best accuracy/velocity and continue my search.
