Good shooting LRRPF52 my Bartlien is a 1:8". I played around with some more loads today here's my results it's CFE 223 again behind the 130gr VLDs.
31gr - 2587 fps
31.2gr - 2609 fps
31.5gr - 2621 fps
At 31.2gr I started to compress lightly I'm not certain how much further I can go safely beyond 31.5 but I'm not even gonna try because the groups started to open at 31.5gr. Actually 31gr gets me the best I do believe it was a bit windy and a whole lot of mirage when I shot today but I did manage to get .42" 5 shot group. And I'm certain with a little adjustment in the seating depth this will move right on in to .25" or better but I'm not expecting perfect groups out of these at 100yrds. I'll stretch them to 300yrds soon and work from there. I think an average of 2587 fps will work just fine at any range out to 1000yrds.
