[QUOTE="BUSTINDOGS, post: 1225798, member: 49798"] Update I was not getting consistent performance with this load so I decided to retest the load. I first did a jump test starting at .005 off the lands and working out form there In .03 increments to .095 which is as for as I can go before I start to really crunch powder when seating. .095 jump proved to be the winner. I then loaded two separate ladders to test so I could see if I could duplicate the results. started at 55.5 and worked up to 57.3 in .3 gran increments. with 55.8-56.7 having nearly the same vertical poi at 300 yards. then retested those loads at 600 on steel plate and showed same good results on those loads. Note that I use 57.5 as a max load in my gun, 58 grains has a real heavy bolt lift and brass flows into ejector. So new load is 143 ELD-X 56.3 grains Retumbo .095 jump lapua brass cci Br-2 primer [/QUOTE]
