Just bought one and I'm hoping to get 3300+ with 130 ttsx or accubond. Does anyone have good loads for the finnlight? I used to have a T3 and could never reach the speeds that the factory ammo could reach through the chrony.

Mag pro can do it but not unusual for the WSMs to not reach advertised velocity as they are at 65,000 psi, no room for more pressure.

I have had factory ammo produce flat and slightly cratered primers. I know it is not an accurate indication of pressure and may be more a head space and firing pin hole issue but either way I am not used to it as a regular condition.

R17 may do it but haven't tried. Got an easy 3200 fps with R25 and 140 grain bullets and stopped there.

My Sako won't get a 130 to 3300 fps with any published load data I have tried. 3250 fps is about all it will do.

Mine really likes RL17 or IMR4350.
