I went to the range today and tested some of the loads that were suggested and also tweaked my load with RL-17. I forgot my shooting bag and had to shoot today using a wadded up shirt and a little piece of styrofoam to support the butt of my stock but I finally got what I want with the 145gr Speer. The H4350 and Varget did not preform velocity wise at all to my satisfaction.
Here is a 10 shot group with two called flyers, the best I could do this morning considering my rest.
145gr Speer SBT, 47.1grs of RL-17 (near max for my gun, work up to this) Fed 210 primers and Nosler brass, and COAL of 2.770" moving on average for ten shots at 2917fps. Not the best group but I have what I want in my hunting load for this bullet. Little site adjustment and I have a 245 zero with it being -5" at 310yds.

Great group, Mike, despite your deficits in equipment. Congratulations. That'll do.
