Yeah, at this point, its more about what powder is more available. I chose IMR4350, since i have a bunch of it and it's still fairly easy to find. I don't expect to get close to your velocities, but I'm thinking I'll find something pretty accurate... I loaded up 50 of the 162 ELDX and 40 of the 162 BTSP interlocks. I don't seat base to ogive bs, but seat to .020" off the lands (2.920" for the ELDX and 2.835" for the BTSP). As long as they fit in the magazine, and they do. Running a 6.5 CM mag in the Tikka, works like a champ..
