Thread: 150g ELDX and 2206H

Finaly got out to test my loads using 2206h rifle is a Tikka t3x with 20" barrel my coal was 71.7mm Winchester brass fed primers I started at 39 and went to 40.5 in .5 Increments
39= 2703fps with a es of 13 35mm 3 shot grp super light recoil
39.5 = 2726fps ES 46 40mm grp worst recoil
40= 2760ish (forgot to reset chrono so only picked up 2) ES 19 17mm grp
40.5 =2776fps ES 5 35mm grp (pulled the shit out of one and other 2 touching) no pressure signs found which I though I would.
To confirm the Chrono speeds fired 3 120nbt over it at average of 3166 ES 12 and 10mm grp. I have validated this to 500yds so Chrono reading well.
The 40gr nd 40.5gr loads will be worth further looking aswell as loading a few more up higher.
Very happy with results
here is what i ended up with my 7mm08
there is some more info on others experience in this thread
