Hey Dennis,

Hornady's 155 gr. A-MAX is running 2,500 fps. and SPEER's 150 gr. Grand Slam averages 2,489 fps...

On the above target, the left group was with the A-MAX and the right was with the Grand Slam...

Both bullets were seated .007 into the lands...

Powder of choice was H-4895 sparked by Federal Gold Medal Match primers...
Nice increase in the velocity!

Very nice! The 155 Amax will hold groups well way out past killing ranges.
I use it in 308 and 30-06.
I tried leverevolution in my 30-30 model 94 with 150 gr flat tipped bullets the velocity was there at 2400fps area but accuracy was not there.

It is hard to beat H4895 for keeping groups tight in different temps. I feel many powders fall down in that area.
But that barrel of yours may not be as picky.

Awesome build and looks the part.
