Two years back I put together a 200 gr Nos Part load to pop an Alaska Grizzly with in my -06AI. I used Win brass and Fed 210M primers in a 26" Lilja 11 twist, 3-groove barrel.

I pushed 70.6 gr of Magnum to 2823 with the 200 AB before running out of brass. I believe I could have gotten 2946 fps with 71.2 gr.

Then I tried up to 68.3 gr of Rel 25 to get 2930 fps with the 200 AB.

I worked up to 64.8 gr of Rel 22 for 2736 fps but stopped testing due to some forgotten reason.

Ran a pressure ladder with H1000. 69.7 gr upto 2881 fps.

I settled on 68.4 gr of H1000 to get 2853 fps with the 200 Nos Part .020" off the lands. I tested the Fed 215 mag primer but ES went to 120+ fps.

Never did take the AI to Alaska. Instead, took my CZ550 in 9.3x62 using the 286 gr Nos Part and ended up taking a 62" bull moose with my Ruger NMBH in 45 LC at 15 yds for for shits and giggles.
