    Not changing my length. Wife is happy with it.
    I set it using comparator so I know its right from really trying in my chamber and mag. Its bloody expensive blowing away good accuvonds like this but ll try a load up to max ADI Pressure as I'm not seeing any pressure marks. I'll also check some more around the three lower values. Make sure the barrel is cool etc. After all. I only need one bullet this roar.

    Which pill you running and what powder ? I had a crack using the Sierra Blitzkings for 243 and they were -OK- but ran hot as hell and got very innaccurate at 250+ yds ...
    Vmax 58's on the other hand are the bomb ... shittingly accurate ... using 2206h (45.8gn) from memory although dont quote me on that

    Running 44.7 of 2208. Nosler ballistic tip varmint. Purple tip
    55gr.


    Rang the gong at 500 yest JUST!
    Tried the blitzkings. She didn't like them as much but not as bad as the vmax. They were awful.

    This out of my Tikka T3.

    I was always getting flyers and they are a lot shorter bullet and with the taper wouldn't seat close the lands. The noslers are great.
