Have you tried SW Long Rifle ? I used some in my 6BR and 6XC but due to shoulder surgery haven’t had time to mess with it much. It looked like it was accurate but I didn’t get to do hardly any work up.I've made several attempts to get it to run in my 22BR. It just doesn't work well.
I can find excellent nodes between 2950 and 3000fps with Varget. I pressure out at 2900fps and get wild chrono readings with SW Precision.
At first I tried to get a 2990fps speed to match my Varget load. Heavy bolt lift forced me to give up long before reaching that velocity. Then I figured I would settle for something much slower, but couldn't find a decent node on a couple different attempts. I gave up. Its 223 powder now.
