    @Double Shot:



    Looks like there is a bit of a node around 42.5gr. Zero sign of pressure so will go up in powder and see if there is another node. Will keep you posted. FYI, 43gr is max load in the Nosler reloading manual.

    Ideally will get to 2600 which will give me plenty of reserves for 1800ft/s and 1000ft/lbs @ 400m which is pretty far for my 2.5 -10x scope and old eyes.

    The box of Superformance 129gr SST Factory ammo I bought to get me onto zero, clocks 2618ft/s in the 16" barrel and head shot a goat today at 306m (+6 MOA) with it. Barrel has only 29 shots through so things will speed up and settle down around 200-300 shots.
    SlimySquirrel and Double Shot like this.
