[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1104209, member: 880"] Our go to loads are 44.5 with a 168SMK and believe it or not 44.5 with a 175SMK, both loads are right at 2650fps the 175SMK runs in at 2670fps. Best way to figure out a load is to load 3 or 5 each say starting at 44.0 then load 44.5, 45.0, 45.5, etc. then shoot, figure out which groups better and look for pressure signs. I normally drop 1.5gr below printed Max then work up from there. You could always use the ladder test! if you can get it to work out for you then you have accomplished something! I've never been able to get it to work out. I have found that if you can shoot further than 100 yards you will find a much better load. I try to do my load work at 200 yards since I don't use real high magnification scopes. 100 yards is ok to get a good idea but step it back to find out what really works well. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
