[QUOTE="trebark, post: 422846, member: 19172"] Load development continues.... The initial load that produced .25moa accuracy, (142SMK, H4831SC, Fed210M) was 'only' going 2730fps and had a terrible ES (30+). I was looking to achieve 2800 with the SMK and to reduce the ES significantly. So today I got out and tried several charge weights and primers. One of them really stood out.... Bullet: 142SMK Powder: 43.5 grains H4350 Primer: CCI BR2 Velocity: 2930fps with an ES of 2! Just slightly larger than .25moa at 200 yards! [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/09-11-10011.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/09-11-100112.jpg[/IMG] Yes, that's a three shot group, not two. For now, this will be my go-to load for targets and varmints. I'm going to continue to work to find a load that will run closer to 2800 in the interest of preserving barrel life. Also, working on development of a hunting load with the 140VLD. Here's two groups at about .5moa at 200 yards. Bullet: 140VLD Powder: RL17 42.5 and 44grains Primer: Fed210 Velocities: 2930 (ES = 22) and 3015 (ES = 15) [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/140VLDRL17Fed210001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/140VLDRL17Fed210002.jpg[/IMG] Development for this load will continue as I would like to improve accuracy a bit more.
