[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1477237, member: 96226"] Final report on the load development. Settled at 45.5gn RL23 & 108 ELD's or 115 DTAC's. Both run 3180fps with single digit SD's. Hornady brass. Winchester primers made much lower SD's than CCI LRP's or Federal 210's. Both bullets liked jump under .080" all the way down to .010". Didn't test touching lands or jamming. Barrel life wasn't spectacular. I got to just over 1000rnds before it started opening up enough that I have to re-work the load. I'll be doing some tweaking of the load and I'm going to try to squeeze another 200 rounds from it while my & coach's new 6XC barrels are being set up but I'm not optimistic about my likely match scores till the new barrels are fitted.
