Anyone Use 60 grain Vmax with 1:8 Twist AR

Well I got a decent group out of the 60's and a charge of 24 grains of H335. 3 of the 5 are touching one another and the other two are not far off it is right around 1" MOA.
 
Were you showing any pressure signs?

Nosler's 5th shows 23 to 25 gr (max) with the 25 gr. being most accurate load w/H3335 & 60's.

I see no pressure signs at all with 24 grains and 60g. pills. I may work on up to 24.5 and see what happens. I don't like to mess with max loads much but if it needs to be near to the max to get great accuracy I'll dabble a little.
 
I use them in my 10" AR 1x8 twist. They shoot very well. Under an inch 5-shots at 100 using a 1-5X Leupold optic.
 
I've used Varget and Benchmark with 60 gr Vmax and even my test load 5 shot's groups under .75 at 100. I'm shooting a bushy predator, stock trigger etc with a 3-12-44 scope.
 
I think that it must be that I am using to fast of burning powder right now and this weekend will try something slower in Varget and we will go from there.
