Thanks, I’m at 800-900’ so concerned about an 8 twist being fast enough.1:8 has been spinning them good for me. Running them at 2550-2650 fps depending on the load. I’m between 4000-5000 ft elevation.

Pretty close to the old gold medal copy cat recipe if memory serves42.2 grs IMR4064 and 175gr NOS Comp .308 bug hole makers.

Definitely! Worked great, will burn through the 500 on my shelf in no time haha.That 87g Vmax is a varmint hammer!
