I've worked up to 46.5 grains with 150 gr. flat base Interlocks.

Some folks are finding the goody zone a bit over 47 grains, but that's not in Lapua brass. So I'm creeping up slowly.


Dave,

46gr R15 gave me 2951 fps with 150gr Hornadies from my 22" Krieger. No way I would go higher, but your rifle may be different...

Glad I'm not the only one to see high velocities with this combo. Thought it was weird getting 2840 (correction, actual was 2,889 and 2,900 fps!!!!) out of my win model 100 the other day with 45 gr.s of RE15. Knew it was a pretty stiff load for that particular rifle but didn't realize they were sizling out of the barrel like that. Now I need to see what 47 gr. is doing in my bolt guns blush
