It's taken a while but I think a finally found a load my rifle likes. 40gr Vmax, once fired Hornady brass, Remington 7 1/2 primers, 26.2 gr IMR 8208XBR with an OAL of 2.313.
Of the five shot group I had one flyer, no doubt due to the unreliable nut behind the trigger.

Nice shooting, Tokimini. Looks like that load worked for you.

Might want to work that load up near 27gr,and see if any presure signs develop.Might get even better accuracy.I'm at 27.3 with 39SBKs and 28gr with 32 SBKs.groups in the 2s and 3s in three different guns.

Joe, I tried some at 27.0 and results were terrible. I almost needed a yardstick to measure the group. I think this is the best I'm going to get with the 8208XBR and the 40 gr Vmax.
I think I'll get some Reloader 10X or Hodgdon 4895 and see what I can do with 39 gr Blitz Kings. I could not them to group well with the 8208XBR.
