Have any of yeah tried them? I have seen no more than 280krpm which limits me to ~2800fps. i may try to see if they will stay together running faster than that. I have had no time to deal with my 22x47L barrel. I only have some 105 hybrids, but I can order something else as long as it can get here by Wednesday. Were trying to line up to go chasing varmints next weekend, I haven't gotten to shoot varmints with the 6x47 yet, I see many people haven't had very good performance with the 105 hybrid on varmints.

 
If your barrel is throated for 105 Hybrids, the 70gr Blitzkings are gonna have a hell of a jump. The 87 Vmax is more in line ogive wise and still having bearing surface in the neck
 
Thanks that's good to know! I'm going to wait and try the vmax first. If there staying together @3300 in the 7.5" that's 317krpm, and someone else had stated 8" at 3200 which is 288krpm. I'll try them, should be here Tuesday. Hopefully they will survive a nearly full load of 4451.
 
A rough throat might give you problems, Iosso bore paste or something similar might be in order prior to shooting these. I had 1500/1600 rds through my Dasher prior to shooting the above bullets with no problem. The Blitzking shot good with over .100 jump, the Vmax was a light jam and shot under an inch at 300yds
have fun
 
I was able to run all the way up to 40g of IMR 4451 and 3300fps and they stay together which is 340krpm. Making hits on an IPSC at 715 yds. I'm going to load some more in the next couple days and try to see how they group. I may need to seat them a bit deeper to make sure they stay. I didn't adjust my seater from the 105's. I bet they will be a varmint hammer, planning on backing back to 39g and see how they do.
