    Trg and 285 amax load work

    Just got my mitts on some of the above and through a few together to get the feel of them.
    93 I was getting a bit of firm bolt lift and quite loose group.
    92 no sign of pressure and showing a fair bit of promise.
    Not much info with the 285 amax and the trg around.
    I am keen to talk to any body going down this track to compare notes.
    I have been using 300 smk but I love my amaxs as I am running them in my other 3 calibres.

    Been shooting the 285 Amax & 300 EHs in an AX this weekend.

    I used 2217 mag length 285s & 2225 with the 300 EHs single feed.

    14-16-17-23mm groups at 217 yards & plenty a bit bigger
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    be carefull.................... they are soft
    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
