They are loaded with IMR 8208XBR and CCI 450 primers in Lapua/AA brass. Loaded with 27, 27.5, 28, and 28.5 gr, 5 rounds a piece. Hopefully I'll find one that shoots well
28.5 grains is the max I would consider with that bullet and XBR. My rifles seem to like 28.3 the best.
XBR does very well, but the cliffs edge is sharp, a little too much turns into a lot too much REALLY fast!
Great powder and very stable temp wise, though.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
