So a big improvement after the trigger and action was worked on...trigger is excellent. Bit hot today with mirage so will keep going. COAL was 2.715".
Who did the trigger? Awesome riflesQuote:

I found H414 / W760 (87 gr vld) worked well but I was only looking to shoot deer and goats to 200 mtr. It would shoot 1.5" groups day in day out without a lot of mucking around.
The Chamber also was tight. Had to take the cases down to the minimum size every time and trim as well. Learnt the importance of cycling every sized case through the chamber before moving on.
Low pressure Trailboss loads of 58gr vmax for short range rapid fire on goats was very successful. Would suggest that both H414 and Trailboss are not as clean as the RL26 I use in my bolt 243 with heavy bullets

DPT added. Wind: v.strong NW. 47gn RE26 95gn Targex:

I have recently had to replace my computer hard drive and had always used On Target. Have yet to reinstall OT so looking at options if there is better available. Ta.
App is Range Buddy. Too windy for LabRadar and suppressor with ext mic...and yep wasn't worried. Should be around 3050-3100fps. Need to prove it wasn't a fluke so will test again with chrony...still hates 90gn BTs.
Mmmm....
Interesting. Need to do some of the same with the targex for my 243. Handy to get some ideas
