[QUOTE="cjk, post: 114548, member: 4050"] Ive got a set of shells ready to test once the wind settles down. The reason I didnt go with varget is in my sierra manual tac produced higher velocity, and I had a pile here as it works well with the 50gr blitzking. Even with tac the bullet will barely be supersonic at 1000yds. I have questions about my load development. 1. Do I have to stay supersonic at 1000yds to be accurate? 2. I assumed the answer to #1 is yes so I skipped the ladder test and went right to a powder charge that would get 1140+fps at 1k yds(23gr max listed in manual). Then worked up till pressure signs showed in .5 grain jumps while shooting 5 shot groups(flat primers at 24gr). I then picked the most accurate load(23.5gr) and loaded 5 rounds at .1 gr intervals 23.3-23.7 to fine tune and verify. Anything I missed? [/QUOTE]
