    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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.

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