I want to try the 160 Shock Hammers, and Staball 6.5 and N560 seem to be the best performers for it.
But.
The test loads were out of a 26" barrel, and mine is only 22".
I also am about to test 175 North Forks out of it.
I have about a half pound of H4350 left, which works pretty well with 156 gr Oryx.
Are staball and n560 too slow for a full burn out of 22" and those weight bullets? Hammer shows 3140 and 3160, respectively, so I'm guessing my best for either 1 out of my rifle will be probably around 3050 for the 160 gr Hammer; and maybe 2750 for the NF.
Other powder I have on hand is IMR4831, Ramshot Magnum, and 2000MR (though that seems a little too fast).
