    284 load progress

    Righto

    So did a ladder with the new shillen barrel a few weeks ago.

    Did 54.5 up to 56.5gr of Superformance running the 162gr eld m. Then did another 2 at 56.8 and 57.1gr.

    Found pressure at 56.8gr which is the old charge for my TMK load out of the old barrel.

    So went out today and set chrony up.

    Did 3 groups.

    One at 56.2,56.4 and lastly 56.6gr

    Bear in mind this is Virgin Lapua brass and only rounds 12-24 out of this barrel.

    I'm pretty bloody happy.

    54.4gr gave 2760fps and 2770fps. The third round the chrony gave a screwy reading.

    So went and did the natural thing and figured the load was about 3.5inches high at 100 so went and fired 2 rounds at the 8" gong at 620y. Dialed about 10 MOA.

    1 hit and 1 Mike as it was blowing pretty hard.

    So yeah I'm pretty stoked with this shillen barrelName:  20230930_155632.jpg
