This one was 23.8 grains, which is about max according to one of my manuals. I saw early on that this load had good potential, so I called Sierra to get current info from them. I was assured that I could go a little higher in my testing, but found that the accuracy fell off above this. So, this is where I will load until something changes.

edited to add: I am using Lake City brass and Remington 7 1/2 primers. I tried CCI 400 and they cratered heavily.
