Super slow powder for the caliber, but these are heavy bullets for the same… should wind up working well based on what I’ve read and calculated, but never know til you give it a whirl.
I am pleasantly surprised at the higher charged ones in my test today… 44gr of imr 4831 behind a 168gr SMK is a heavy charge but slow burner, so still quite soft shooting for an advantage in silhouette….it did hit 2.5 moa right and 3 moa low versus my ordinary zero, but groups well enough for offhand shooting! I’ll see how it does for me on Rams through 2022 and keep building my reloading toolbox.
