Anyone using n160/n560 under 155gr in long barrelled .308?

Hello chaps

 

I have an older .308 target rifle that I bought off of Bewsher, shoots well with 43gr n140 under a 155 but I get pressure signs at 43.5.

 

I'm just wondering as it has a 32" barrel whether it may benefit from a slower powder such as N160 or N560 (both of which I have here) as I may get lower pressure and make the most of the longer barrel. It's 1:14 so limited to the lighter bullets I think.

 

Application would be target work, out to 1000y.

 

What are people's experiences / thoughts?

Too slow try Wildbore or rs52 under a 155 either a scenar, 2156 or a Berger. I've just started playing with rs52 and it got me over 2900 with zero pressure in a 24-26" barrel ( depends how you measure the barrel) I am sure I could push up to a higher node but what's the point?
