    Yes, stick one in a Lapua case over 24gns of Varget and light off with a Federal 205 and Bob's your Auntie!

    Check availability of anything made by Hornady, and Hodgdon for that matter, both are very scarce at the moment and I don't see it getting better any time soon

    Thumbs up

    I use them in my 1 in 9 Savage. 24gr of N140 gives just under 3000 fps. Outstanding at 600, 8 consecutive shots in the marker one time. Pretty reliable at 1000.
