Nice rifle for sure. How do you like the PTG dbm? There's a thread on the 'hide where a guy is complaining about loose mag fit with an 10rd accurate mag, has me curious about them.

41 grains of R17 with a 115 Berger in an AI case is fine. If you plan to use this powder and approach max loads, be careful when it gets hot, or weather conditions have moisture in the air. R17 is a double base powder, and will show pressure signs all of a sudden. And 243's are known for showing pressure, even with your single base powders. Good shooting!

Nice rifle for sure. How do you like the PTG dbm? There's a thread on the 'hide where a guy is complaining about loose mag fit with an 10rd accurate mag, has me curious about them. I like it. I don't have any 10 rd mags but the 5rd AI fits nice and snug. 41 grains of R17 with a 115 Berger in an AI case is fine. If you plan to use this powder and approach max loads, be careful when it gets hot, or weather conditions have moisture in the air. R17 is a double base powder, and will show pressure signs all of a sudden. And 243's are known for showing pressure, even with your single base powders. Good shooting! Thanks for the heads up. I don't plan on going with much more powder. At 42gr the bolt lift was hard.
