I will add, I've settled on 140gr Accubonds for mine with 57.5gr of H1000. Half a grain below max in the Nosler book and they're averaging just over 2900fps so far. I'm happy with the speed and accuracy so I don't feel the need to tinker with that one anymore, even though I should be able to...
I ran some middle of the road charges through my Roughtech last week with a 143gr ELD-X and a 140gr Accubond, I'll look at my notes when I get home of the actual charge, but it was pretty poor velocity for being where it was. I used Hodgdon load data for both since neither Hornady or Nosler has...
