    Bloody batteries were flat in the Chrony. Seriously considering a Magneto V3.

    Nice looking range setup. Is that on your patch in North Loburn? My brother lived on Carters Road for a while with a similar pine outlook.

    142gn LRABs 2909fps 44gns RE19. Going to try hotter and should easily make 2950fps.



    140gn Amax 2987fps with 43gn RE17.
    Primer fine but noticed bolt lift tight...I didn't change the seating die from the LRABs...but primer AOK?

    Definitely promising.

    Nice velocities! What length barrel are you running?
    As R93 said, you won't see normal pressure signs like a standard case shows. My 257 AI would indicate high pressure with a stiff bolt handle and the primer still looked ok.
