[QUOTE="CA48, post: 587359, member: 21446"] Did some slight testing with 285s back when they were released. After some quick pressure testing and some rounds through the chrono I ended up with going with 93gr of H-1000 .065 off the lands which gave me 2825 fps. This shot right at half MOA at 400. Then I stepped back to 964yds. First shot was 3 MOA left, adjusted then sent 3 more. The first two shots were 3in apart then the last shot put the group at 10in. Goods news, the group was mostly horizontal, the vertical spread was 2in. The next outing was at 1707 yds with the wind switching 5-10mph. The target was a 20in gong. After shooting two 3 shot strings, 6 shots total, ended up with 1 on steel. Rifle is a 338 EDGE AI 30in bbl. I am happy so far with the slight amount of testing and load development done. Also like the uniform meplats. Other than that I have only shot about 6 more 285s at range and it was way to windy to gather any useful information. The new berger 300s seem to keep having good reports, will try them out eventually. Good luck on the project. [/QUOTE]
