[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 315673, member: 11717"] The 180 E-Tip was used for both the RL17 and H4350. I treid 168 TTSX's also but they did not do as well. It was hard for me to believe those velocities when I first saw them, but I shot some other loads out of that rifle that day including some factory loads that were consistant with previous veocities and load data including the 180 E-Tip/H4350 loads, so I think the chrony was fairly accurate. As for accuracy and temp consistancy. That rifle has never fired anything well resulting in many 2-4 MOA groups form a variety of handloads and factory loads. This is with close to 200 hundred hand loads down the tube of load development and several boxes of factory loads. I haven't done any temp testing and wont until I get the rifle back from the factory for the second time. It's a Sako lemmon. However, the velocity was there. How well it shoots in other rifles I think will depend on each individual rifle's temperment. The Sako is long throated and those bullets were seated about .140 off the lands to fit the mag. -MR [/QUOTE]
