Could you please send me the data as well. My Kreiger #5 1/2, 1-8.5, that will finish at 23" showed up Thur. Now waiting on my Stiller Action from the group buy. Going to have a great deer rifle made! Thank You krw

I would be interested to. I seek data for the 129gr Hornady SST but 130gr data would give me a hint. I have N160 and Norma 203B (RE15) at hand but could buy a different powder if I have to.

Chad I was also curious if you could send me the data also

Thank you

IMR 4064 is pretty hard to beat here... check pressures at 37 grains, 37.5 grains, 38 grains... 38.5 grains, with one shot at each of those charges. Then shoot a 10 shot group using 39 grains (providing pressures are acceptable) and come back and show us a picture.
