As a hand loader, this has been a most interesting discussion (and it looks as though I´m not far off from being on the right track)

That military stuff is a bit scarce around here Peter has been for a long time. Though some Mods on this forum seem to have a large supply of HXP.

Jeez Bindii, now you are making me think.........that makes my head hurt.
It was the early 155gr Sierra Matchkings, Testing done for the Rifle Association in a 24" barrel, 1.12 twist gave 2740fps for the 45.0gn load of AR2208 (Varget), this thru my 28" barrel pumped up to 2930fps and in my 30" barrel up around 3100fps.
These loads I have carried over to the 155gr HBC projectile with slightly faster velocity, but still give me possibles at 1000yds and have enough grunt out to 1200yds(but only just....for this distance I use 46.5gns.)
.............and that is why I still Molycote.
