[QUOTE="GNERGY, post: 401216"] I have been doing some load development for my recently built LRH rifle. Rem. 700 with custom made extended magazine. 30 inch Broughton tube 1:9.3 twist with Muscle brake Gunsmithed by Jim See. 6x-24x 50 Burris black Diamond 4 Signature rings on EGW 20 moa rail Joel Russo carved Ironwood stock Devcon bedded and finished by ME I tried 250 gr NAB's with not very good results. So I thought I would try the Barnes 225 TTSX because all the reviews I read about them were good. All testing was done at 300yds. First time out I loaded 3 of each wt. to see how they shot. This was my best group. 86.5gr 4350 fed mag primer at 3300fps. Seated .050 off the lands. First two shots were good but I was trying to squeeze off the 3rd one really slow and the guy next to me let one fly with his Garand and I jerked it, so I decided to come back and test more. [IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/GNERGY/DSCN1889.jpg?t=1277143982[/IMG] These are from a week later ( this past sunday ) The 86.3 shot good but the 86.5 made the bolt a little harded to open so I only shot 2 rounds, it was over 95* out in the shade. So now I will load some more and try to test at 500 or 600 yds. Barnes 225gr TTSX is the answer to my accuracy goals. [IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/GNERGY/DSCN1896.jpg?t=1277144547[/IMG] Seems like everytime I get 2 touching I get a little nervous to put the 3rd one right in there.
