[QUOTE="esshup, post: 224628, member: 11101"] Ridgerunner: So far, the 130's are poking round holes at 100 and 200 Yds, the only problem is that it's more of a shotgun pattern.:( I've got some loaded with Retumbo and with Ramshot Magnum (both the 130's and the VLD's) to check velocity/pressure tomorrow. After that it's off to RL-22. If I start out at SAMMI OAL, and want to move the bullet out towards the lands/grooves, what incremental moves should be made? From testing in another .257, I have found that the closer to the rifling, the higher the pressure, so I will have to watch that if they get moved. CoyBoy, thanks. You are close to where I attended college, UWSP. The gun is new to me, but when I got it it had 57 rounds thru it. It looks like it'll shoot, just have to do some quick dialing-in.
