hey guys im new to this caliber but i am loving it, i have a savage vlp dmb with a 1-9 twist that i had rechambered to this caliber to push the heavier bullets. right now i am shooting 69 gr smk over 43 grains of imr 7828 and its stacking the rounds in a small ragged hole. i am wondering if anyone is using a similar setup and possibly what my fps is on this combo?
