Savage Edge, 22 inch barrel, 1x9 twist with Rifle Basix trigger.
50 vmax with 26.5 g H335 using LC09 brass and Rem 7.5 primer gives me about 3,215 fps and shoots between .4 and .5 moa consistently. Oal is set at 2.300.
55 vmax with with same primer and brass using 25g H335 gives right at 2,900fps and shoots right at .25 moa. Using 25.6g ups the velocity to about 3,100 fps but accuracy falls off to about .5 moa. Oal set at 2.344 for both. Haven't tried a shorter oal like I would use for my AR.
Work up to these loads cautiously and start at least 1.5 g lower. They are above max from Hodgdon website with 50 and 55 gr bullets, but below max from Sierra's website for their 50 and 55 grain bullets. No pressure signs with these loads in my rifle, but you know the drill.
