Rod, heres a copy of an e-mail I sent you some time back. Guess you lost it?? "Rod, using 25 gr. bullets, both Berger and Hammett, here's what I tried: 17.8 X-Terminator, 3500 fps starting load 19.0 X-Terminator, 3800 fps top load I tried. Pressure was fine. 19.2 TAC, 3600 fps starting load 20.0 TAC, 3820 fps top load, pressure OK Hornady 20 gr. V-Max: 19.0 X-Terminator, 3900 fps starting load 19.8 X-Terminator, 4100 fps top load I didn't try TAC with the 20 as I thought X-Term would be more suitable. My current favorite powder for the Mach IV with 25 gr. bullets is Benchmark. I'm using 19.0 grains with the Berger 25 for just over 3800 fps. In fact, I shot a bunch of prairie dogs today with that load, super performance! My Cooper Mach IV will easily surpass 3900 fps with 25 gr. bullets with a couple of different powders, but in the interest of summer heat and barrel life, I usually run them down to around 3800 for prairie dogs. All loads are with Rem 7 1/2 primers and bare bullets, use at your own risk." Dan C
