What do you mean by that?

I've stuck to the 140Amax and still have a hundred or so, but its good to hear there are still a couple of thousand available out there.

Sorry - the 300 yards non clicking thing test.

Oh, just checking true drop at a measured range once zero is set and measure in inches then play with the speed till i get the same drop in the app, i find its the next refinement after the chrony. These days i dont even bother with the chrony to be honest.

so Gibbo
that is a 30 yrd group , Yes?

What OAL length is that?
Have you loaded to a mag length or a distance off lands?

Oal of 2.920 mag length 40 thou or so off lands. I get no pressure and worked up to it so please be careful if you are thinking of trying it

Don't worry mate, I'm not going to go load up 50 grains and give it a crack.
It's interesting to hear how much powder some folks are using.

I assume you are using 2209?
Have you tried Hodgon Super performance?

Yip 2209 and nah havnt tried the superformance, sounds like some guys have trouble with batch variability. ADI just works

Fair enough, with that speed and that group from a 260 I wouldn't be messing around with it!
I hope I can get mine going as well as yours. I've opted for the 140gr ELD-M.

What flavour rifle is it @Beetroot? 260 is a mint little round, quite an achiever really

A Tikka, bought it used off a forum member.
Awesome round, not much recoil and accurate as hell, especially for the money I paid.

Hi guys. Our main supply of 147's is restocked and back at our regular price. Our apologies for the delay and thank you all for your patience!!
