Never loaded for this gun (X Bolt) until today. 3 shots at 100 yards from a rest. Maybe a little tweaking could tighten it up a little.

I think that might hunt. Do you know the velocity?

I shoot H4895 with Lapua brass and the 150 NBT/NAB for high 2800s in a 22” factory bolt gun. Can’t recall the exact charge, but it is at the top end of H’s online data. It was about what their data predicted for velocity. I bought that jug of powder when I couldn’t find Varget and it’s been good in 308 and 7-08 with lighter bullets.
Now with even more aplomb

I bought that jug of powder when I couldn’t find Varget and it’s been good in 308 and 7-08 with lighter bullets. 45.5, and that's in heavier Lapua brass (probably about 173 grains) with longer bullets as well. With the flat base Hornady, lighter brass and a grain less powder I'll guesstimate 2750, maybe 2800.

I shoot a heavy charge of 4064 in mine behind a 150 grain Sierra in LC match brass and CCI primers. I'm seeing 2800 and a little change with a 20 inch barrel.

I agree on you guy’s velocity estimates. Likely high 2,700 range. My notes show 45.3gr, Lap brass, and 150NAB for 2,875fps.

Might need a 1/4" up and 1/2" tweak to the left.

Lobster, look up the posts on here “130 TTSX loads for a 308” just posted yesterday if you trying the Barnes bullet. Mighty good shooting there. I have used that Hornady bullet for years and now use the Barnes 130 for deer…you won’t be disappointed, they like them fast I have found hard to catch one in a deer.

I think that’s my post that you’re referring to. I got the 130 grain TTSX’s to shoot a ragged hole at 100 yards.
