If your rifle happens to have a fast barrel like the one used in the Nosler ballistics lab then 3396 is feasible but only just barely IMO.
What kind of SD are you seeing with those loads?



What powder and how much were you using?????I cannot get near those velocities with my Tikka T-3 Lite.

MagPro powder in both cases.
74 grains behind the TSX and 75 behind the Hornady. Loads were taken right from the Accurate powder website.
I was using Winchester LR primers but will also try LRM primers.
My SD for both loads is too high for my liking though, 29 with the Hornady and 24 with the TSX. Both were just under MOA at 200 yards though.
