2209, only light loads with the Sierra 130s (41 to 43gr) as only had 15 projectiles to play with initially.Quote:

Might try the RL16 behind the 143s next

I know a few guys that use the same recipe in 260 tikka and they all get half moa rifles (or better) with minimum fuss.
Tests from the weekend. Feedback welcome
130 vld hunting and 143 eldx

Looks like you have an answer for the 143! I would just load up another 6 at 46 grains of 2209 and check you can repeat that result.
As for the 130 the Re16 looks good speed wise and the group isn't terrible. Have you played with seating depth with the Berger? The 45 grain load looks like a candidate for seating depth test. What length/distance from lands are these groups shot at?
Seated 20 thou off lands. Yeah might try that 45 2209 touching and just off.
I loaded up 25 of the 2209 load :) that should tell me enough :D
Gibo, any reason why you're not trialing the 140vld?
Cheers Cliff
Nah mate, just don't have any on me I guessQuote:

140vld hunting is all I use. Just a smidge off the lands.
