[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 964388, member: 33822"] Wanted to report back with some interesting results. Super crunched for time so just dropped 1 grain and ran out early this morning. Kept the same .085" jump from the 210vld load. Great accuracy but velocity dropped more than I was expecting. Velocity: 1. 2760 2. 2754 3. 2766 Sub .3" group. A few thoughts: these 215's are one hell of a bullet. Loads felt light... this bullet must really create overall less pressure than the 210 at only 1 grain less powder. Smaller bearing surface? I think I have the potential for another couple grains and get velocity up near 2900. rifle really seems to like .085" jump. Overall very happy as I was worried whether or not the rifle would like this new bullet. Also thinking that a 26" barrel is a bit of a handicap with these heavy bullets. Some day new barrel will be 28". Will report back whenever I have time to dial in my hunting load. Boy does life get busy with an infant and a 2 year old at home... Not much time for this stuff.
