Chris and Mike were going to push some to absurd velocity. Maybe they'll chime in.

Still working on mine. Going to test a few tomorrow. When I get dialed in I'll share.

I've got a max load of X-Terminator averaging 3171 fps out of my 18" JP with minimal pressure signs. Will probably keep going up, carefully.

Any particular reason to pick the Vmax over another bullet? I know they are varmint rounds designed to be frangible. Range rules?
Reason I'm asking, is that I'm prepping about 2K rounds using .55 grain FMJ Noslers.

I haven't shot them yet, but the published ballistics are amazingly flat and effected much less by wind than the other bullets in similar weights.

53gr vmax has a higher BC than anything else in the 50-55 gr range.

Ogive.
I recently changed from a 20 year load in Sierra 165 HPBT to a Barnes 165 TTST. Short ranges don't matter but at long range, its much better.
