The highest 2 shots in the 100 yard group are 70 & 70.5 gns. 70.5 grn velocity was 3135fps.

I was hoping for close to 3,200fps but am wondering if I should just call it a day at 70.5 grns or push on to the target velocity. There are no pressure signs and the ADI max 70grns. Federal brass.

Looking fairly promising there Bruce

Yeah, GWH. I'm pleased. Just not certain if I should push the envelope any further?

How flat are the primers? No hard bolt lift?
Does it always double group like that, maybe a bedding issue?

Bully, it groups just fine. The group in the pic is 5 different loads.

Oh ok.

Is there much of a discount when you buy it 8lbs at a time?

Had another play around today. I've settled on 71 grns 2214 for 3160 fps. .5 moa.

N560 has potential with little wee bug hole groups but velocity down at 3137 fps. No pressure signs so probably has another 1 grn to go which will see it up close to 3200 fps. But I'm in no rush now I've got a hunting load sorted.

Its taken 16 shots to sort.

An extra 40fps ain't going to make much difference. Call it good and go and shoot another 16 deer with the ammo you would have used to get a good load at 3200 fps.

Hi Tahr. I'm 90% sure I saw one jar of 2213sc at Serious Shooters in Auckland,last week, if that helps. Don't recall the price.
