    Picked up 100 52gr pills of @TARGEX and did a short version ladder hoping it’d be similar at least to the v-max load.
    I’d just shot a 3 round group with a 7rm and used the same target.
    Anyway I picked the first shot, it’d clipped the edge of the Rem mag hole. 2nd shot no obvious impact, 3rd shot no obvious impact, 4th shot maybe an extension of the Rem mag hole at the bottom but by now I’d lost confidence that I was even hitting the target. Adjusted my POA and there it is, right where it should be.
    Other than my first round the next 4 had an ES of 11fps over a 0.4gr charge difference.
    Gotta say at extremely exiting what this pill might might be capable of.
    I’ve seen other posts regarding Targex pills but honestly I didn’t expect those results. Obviously I’ve got more to do but hopefully not that much.
    Ladder was 20.2gr through 20.6gr doing 3130fps
    I competed for years with Bryns bullets. They hold many NZDA nation records.
