This has been my best load so far as well. I have had a couple <1/2moa groups but need to shoot more to see if this is consistent. It has shot a few ~1" groups as well.
Federal brass
45gr Varget
150gr Speer BTSP
CCI 200 primer
2.83" COAL (Max mag length)
Shoots pretty well out of my T3x and the Speer bullets are cheap!
I have tried the 178gr ELD-X as well and got a decent group but it was a compressed load when seated to mag length.
Cheers
