25x45 or 25/223

[320pf]

I had a chance to try a new powder today before is got too dark for the chrongrapah.

Load Data: (standard disclaimer as with any wild-cat, use at own risk and work up slow)

100 gr Speer SPBT (16 inch 1:10 twist barrel) seated to 2.255 COL. (16 inch 1:10 twist barrel)
Charge Hodgdon Benchmark
wt.(g)–––vel. (fps)
23.8––––2364
24.5––––2411
25.1––––2494 small velocity deviation +/- 5 fps for 3 shot string
25.5––––2518 small velocity deviation +/- 2 fps for 3 shot string

Benchmark does not necessarily give the maximum velocities, but the velocity increase with charge increase is very well correlated with this powder.
