That sucks that they are on backorder. Wholesale is starting to mark up there old stock already(wich is BS.
Its nice to see other people having trouble with load development too lol. It seems in my savage that if I have it touching the lands with 168amax that anything over 43 grains of varget open up! Im going to try some reloader 15 see how that works. I may have to settle on the lower velocity though. I should realy move testing out to 200yards though, it may give a better indication of whats realy working and whats not. It probably doesn't help that my savage barrel is rough as hell(maybe microlon is the answer), im thinking of buying a match grade stainless(probably douglass), in 24"
I did score a 100bag of norma once fired brass for $20, will have to swich over to that I think.
