[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 149134, member: 367"] Hit the range this AM with my first set of loads in 95% formed cases. Accuracy was consistently .75" @ 100yds in terrible shooting conditions...switchy 25mph winds and 20 degrees. I only have twenty formed cases (and likely all that I will do) so I loaded them all with Varget (38 up to 40.5gr) and 87gr Hornady SP's to fully sharpen the shoulders and just feel the gun out. Ended up hitting a max of 3065fps with the 87's and best three shot group of just under .5". I bought some 100gr SMK's and have H414 from another project. I'll likey shoot this combo next as I like the SMK's price compared to NBT's...and the SMK's only give up a little BC...which will be of little consequence with this likely being a 400yd max gun.
