OK, rifle is headed this way from Lee, can't wait to start playing with it!Chambered to load 75gr AMax to OAL of ~2.45 at 0.010" off the lands if I remember right.

I have 300 Lapua cases, Fed, CCI and Rem small BR primers, bullets (75gr Amaxes, 75gr Bergers, 75gr Hornady BTHP's, 69gr TMK's, 68gr Hornady BTHP's, 62gr TTSX's,...), and powder (CFE223, 2000MR, Leverevolution, Benchmark, Varget, 335, 380, AR Comp, ...)

Anyone mind sharing some of their loads (knowing I need to work up, I do use a chrono, etc.) - I would really appreciate as I can't find alot of data readily other than Quickload and a few of those powders are not in QL.

Thanks!
Clint

I've been using 25.0gr's of CFE223 and the Hornady 75gr. HPBT in a standard .223.

Been shooting well thus far.

Thanks! QL shows it as one of the "best" choices (~95% full and highest velocity) with the 75gr bullets.

Barring any better info, was gonna start there.

What kind of velocities are you getting with that? Thanks.

I have not chronographed them but according to my drops they should be clocking 2,800fps. That's a 19" barrel, 1-8 twist.

We just shot more at the 500 last night and they were doing well.

Not sure yet. Will probably shoot p-dogs the weekend of the 5-7.
