John,

The last time I clocked it I saw about 2740 from a 24" barrelled Kimber Longmaster.

In my generously throated 700 LVSF I find 46 grains to be too much in Lapua cases. With the shorter throat in your rifle I don't think it would like 46 in Lapua either.

In my 22" LVSF barrel I found 45 grains to work well in Lapua at about 2670 fps.

I'm beginning to think the shorter throat and probably tighter bore in your Krieger need about a grain less to reach the same pressure/velocity balance as my barrel. Did you try 44 grains with the 165s?
