3000????? with a 140 grain bullet? I am down with that! I have used IMR 4831 But my groups opened way up. I went up to 45.0 grains with an average of 2941 fps but I was shooting just an inch. Im using resized 243 brass and the primer pockets are loosening up so I havent gone any higher. I did just get my hands on some Lapua brass and have another 100 on order. I think that I saw some 7828 the other day....
