I can assure you it is NOT low pressure! I came within 2 points last year of winning the KY State Championship (I shot 2 different targets at 200 due to mirage and lost 1 point each time (from 11 to 10 and 10 to a 9)).
We're pretty close or might be shooting the same load. I plan to back down to save brass life, with Lapua 6.5 Grendel being non-exisitent for ever how long that might be, anyway. I found a good load that is milder with h4895 and 80's after blowing out some 220 brass a while back. No idea of speed yet...probably around 3100 with 80's so it's still not bad. FWIW very top end loads will push 80's at 3400 but I don't get good brass life up there. I figure about 6 or 7 firings up there before primer pockets get really loose and I start getting clickers and heavy bolt lift. It shot small with the reduced load but I'll test it more to see if it holds up and test other powders too.
Won't hurt to try. I hope you like it enough that you sell me your 80's and 8208. IME, flip a coin but the 80's have a small edge at 200-300. Otherwise, I shoot what the bbl likes.
