When I moved a box, I found 2500 CCI450 primers, and totally forgot I had them, so happy, and I had to use them.
I also have a few pounds (12 lbs actually) of Alliant Power Pro Varmint, and found on the Hornady App a load for their 80gr CX, max load 31gr
I do like that powder, an easy to meter and charge powder, and I really hope Alliant has NOT discontinued it like Midway indicates.
So, I loaded up 30 rounds, 5 shots per charge, .3gr increments from 29.5gr to 31gr, and 31gr was getting close to compression if it wasn't touching.
I'll let the image with the info speak for how it did, overall, I'm happy with it, and will likely do my next run from 30.0 to 30.5 at .1gr increments.
