Have you tried any 158gr. HP ammo yet? If your carbine likes heavier bullets it is worth a try. You more likely get more penetration with the heavier bullets. Before I started reloading Federal American Eagle 158gr. SP was my factory ammo that shot well in my Marlin 1894C. Tested this load over a chronograph. 10 shot string average 1835fps with a 4fps difference between all 10 shots.


Nothing like a Remington 700xcr.
