I'm still trying to find a load that my 17AH likes and another trip to the range today was a real disappointment. Back to the drawing board on that rifle.
You can't read the Oehler chrono printout on my OCW target posted in my photo album but @ 18.6g the mean was 3511 with no perceivable pressure in my rifle. But you can see the groups expand as the load increases from 18.0g.

I chose 18.0g @ 3400 as my limit however because that is the maximum load speed I have seen for a pressure tested load in Accurate's loading manual. It also happened to be the optimum OCW load.

Primers are CCI 400's.
