First two group of 3 shot at 300m. Got too excited and pulled those third shot…

Was also going to try Staball HD I won’t bother.

Nice work, yip iv being guilty of ruening groups on the last shot by being cocky with how the first few shots landed haha

Classic! I always shot better when conditions don’t allow me to spot my shot…

Those 2 groups were 25th and 20th. Those 180 eldm seems pretty sensitive to jump.

I shoot them in my saum at 27thou jump for no other reason than thats what fits the mag and its a bloody sweet spot mate will be trying the same when ever seating dept testing this bullet

I had a nod at 20, 25, 30 so settled for 30th so it keep shooting well after a bit of throat erosion. It seems to be barrel/powder type, charge dependent, heard some people finding sweet spot at 120th other kissing the land. Factory 180 eldm is also at 60th in my barrel and does ok.

Your brass lasting with that? 2.4gn over book max is a fair bit with the 7prc. Maybe using lrp instead of magnum lrp changes the peak pressure.

I went up 67gn, no pressure signs… it felt like a really mild charge compared to what I was getting with factory ammo… I am at the 4th firing on some of the brass, primer pocket getting loose but are still ok. Again nothing as bad as some of the factory ammo.

I think you are correct about large vs magnum large. A mate using H1000 with large instead magnum is also couple of gn past max charge

Having less jump seems also to reduce pressure. I tested 60th (like factory 180) with same charge and was getting 2960-2970fps and slight ejector marks

Interesting. Every rifles going to be different i guess but from my experience, using FED215 which is whats used for hornady data, book max has definitely been max in my rifle for 2225 2217 and RL26
