    Finally got some accurate loads going, it has taken a lot of mucking around with different seating and charge weight, mainly because I wanted my rifle to shoot every projectile I have tried.

    150gr SST @ 1060 fps 1" group at 100m ( very quiet )

    125gr BT @ 2050 fps 4" group at 400m (shooting steel) swapped the Aimpoint for a Nightforce

    208gr A-Max @ 1060 fps .9" group at 100m ( still more work needed )

    230gr OTM @ 1000 fps .75" group at 100m

    194gr Lehigh ME @ 1060 fps .5 group at 100m

    This target was a 5 shot, prone off a bipod in a forestry and using a 4MOA Aimpoint. The sight is zeroed for 60m as most animals are within that distance. So had to aim high and had to put the bottom of the red dot on the top of the target page.
    Far out that's some awesome shooting..
    It's such a fantastic little cartridge, you will find it hard to match those sub loads with other large center fire cartridges.
