185gr Juggernaut and PP 2000 load data ?

[drglock]

Looking to see if anyone is using the 185's with the power pro 2000. Just need a starting point and max load if anyone has the data. Currently using Berger 175gr BTLR with PP 2000 with outstanding results but would like to play with the 185's.

I used 47.5grns @ 33deg F. Using 180smk's. Shot pretty well for a load I just threw together. A little tweaking and this round could really do something special. I used a Wolf LR primer in RWS brass.

I'm interested in this combination as well. Please keep the info coming!

looking for my load data, i believe it was 46gr t/48.1 20 off the lands in a 27 in barrel shot it at several club matches. and then went to rl 17. now im using varget ran out of 17 and could not get anymore but have more pp 2000. also saw the highest velocities with pp 2000. and if i remember correctly there was a good node about a grain below max.

Wow, 2 loads listed and not a chambering mentioned......

I have heard about higher velocities at lower pressure might be obtained with PP2000MR, in .308 Win with heavy bullets. I just started experimenting with this, shot a few with 46.8 - 47.6 in 0.1 increments just looking for pressure. The higher ranges here resulted in sticky bolt, at ~60 deg F, Norma brass, 210M, jumping about 0.020'. FTR chamber.

My Varget load is shooting very well, I have enough Varget now to get me most of the way through the season, so I have no intention of using this in competition without a lot more work.
