Hi all, got back from the range. I loaded 6 sets of 3: 101g, 103g and 105g H4895. One set to shoot from the lead sled one set to shoot off hand. All loads seated one groove deeper to a COL of 3.63" I shot for groups at only 25 yards because we had some wind blowing (and it was cold) and with my 1.5 - 5x Leupold at 5x I can make sure my hold is pretty close to identical each shot.

So here goes:

Rifle CZ Safari Classic 500 Jeffery, 24" McGowen Barrel. Bullet: 570g TSX, Jamison Brass, Rem 9 1/2M primers, COL 3.63 for all loads. All groups 3 shot groups from 25 yards off of a lead sled with 25 lbs. Range temperature 35 degrees.

101g H4895 velocity 2080 fps average variance about 30 fps from shot to shot 3 shot group at 25 yards from a lead sled. Recoil was fine offhand fun index high. 3 shot group measured 7/8" edge to edge so .375" center to center at 25 yards, so approx 1.5" center to center at 100 yards.

103g H4895 velocity 2175 fps average variance less than 10 fps from shot to shot 3 shot group at 25 yards from a lead sled. Recoil was fine offhand fun index still high. 3 shot group measured 5/8" edge to edge so .125" center to center at 25 yards so approx .5" center to center at 100 yards. Based on the accuracy, velocity and recoil I think this is my load until those darn .510 caliber 570g or 600g North Fork Soft Points come out!

105g H4895 velocity 2280 fps average variance 40 fps from shot to shot 3 shot group at 25 yards from a lead sled. Recoil was getting stiff offhand, fun index waning rapidly. Lead sled rose up from the bench with each shot. 3 shot group measured 13/16" edge to edge so .1875" center to center at 25 yards so approx .75" at 100 yards.

Sorry if this post was too long,

Best Regards,
