 LOL funny you should mention that Yes indeed my load was in the 721 Remington SR 4759 at 20 grs, in my son's browning BBR... Sr 4759 at 21 grains and in the 1903A3 Remington 21 grs of Sr 4759 netted in the 1700ish fps with a good denisty fill, I did not use any filler or dacron.

Worst was my son's Browning 1 inch 100 5 shot group that was with him shooting. In the Remingtons I generally get a pretty consistant sub 1” group for 10 shots. Now that I wrote that my groups will double next time out .....

I have wondered how the load would do with IMR4227 but thus far my experiance with the XCB bullet at below 1800 in the 30-06 has been favorable.

Oh I need to note I used alum Gas checks and White Label 2500 lube COAL was set to lightly engage the rifling in all of my below 1800 fps loads thus far. I had the load worked in the 1903A3 quickly probably 15 min after I sat down at the bench. Both the 721 and Browning BBR took about the same time with the SR4759 powder.
