Hello,

Back from the range today. I'm very happy with the results. Upped the powder charge to 105 grains of IMR 4831 with the same 160g Barnes bullet.



Take a look at the individual readings.

1- 3531 fps
2- 3527 fps
3- 3527 fps
4- 3554 fps
5- 3527 fps

3533 fps ave = 3550 fps corrected to muzzle
11 fps sd

3 of the 5 readings were the same and the standard deviation was 11 fps. Primers were flat but no signs of excessive pressure.

Looks like my prediction of 3700 fps may be attainable.

3-1/2" high at 100 yds = 4-1/2" low at 400 yds
4500 ft/lbs energy at the muzzle with 2050 ft/lbs remaining at 400 yds

I forgot to mention, the muzzle brake on this rifle really works. Recoil is about the same as 308 win.
