168 SMK over IMR-4064 ladder...

[cowtownup]

Asking for suggestions reading this ladder test.

Stevens 200 action 308 Win with X-Caliber 26" SS Varmit 10 twist barrel in a Sharp Shooter Supply LVT stock.

Most specs on the load are on the picture and test was shot round robin style from 40 gr to 45.5 gr. I see the node at shots (5,7,9) which would be from 41-42 grains but I don't really see a node up high. I went .5 grain past max charge on this test. Just a note, 168 FGMM runs about 2760 FPS out of this barrel.

I will probably shoot my next ladder in order. I shot them round robin style because that is how I did it with my sporter barrel. However, with a varmit contour heat is not as much an issue in a small run like this one.. Excuse the confusion of the round robin format...

Thanks for any suggestions.

I edited the photo to show them in order for ease of understanding...
