My above-mentioned 158 jacketed W296 load is in that 16.5 neighborhood you just mentioned. Probably a good spot for it.
Load safe.

Agreed. I've generated a lot of velocity testing and i've documented similar findings with ball powders such as H110 and W748. There seems to be a threshold where if you attempt to exceeded you see no gains in velocities and I found that with W748 in 308 I actually saw my velocity #'s decrease.
