Well it appears my 1:9 twist Savage Varmint barrel stabilizes the 80g A-Max quite well. This barrel started out as a 26" Stock Varmint. I cut 2" off it and recrowned it with an EGW crown tool. The load is 25g of Alliant Power Pro 2000MR under the 80g A-Max seated to 2.45 in Lake City cases and a Wolf Magnum 5.56 primer. Chrono showed 2680 FPS. The first four where beautiful until I pulled the 5th.

After my ladder test on the 80,s I found 2650 speeds to be more promising.
