[QUOTE="north of 53, post: 165103, member: 8510"] [b]I tried it out[/b] I picked up my gun and gave it a try this past weekend. I was not overly impressed with what I could do at 100 yards. I was able to get 75 and 80 grain vlds under 1" but I was hoping for a little better. I am thinking that maybe I am just not as good as I should be a the 100 yard bench and its not the gun. I did move to a longer range and try it out at 400 yards and was able to get the 75 grain berger vlds inside 3" and almost down to 2.5 " so I was happy with that. What I really liked is that I was able to get the 75 grain moving at 3500 fps with RL 19 I had up 46.5 grains and it made for a compressed load moving over 3500. But at that load I was getting loose primer pockets after only 3 firings. I moved back to 45.3 grains and it seems to shoot well. The case is right full to the base of the neck with that load. Question: I have been looking around at some other loads and it seems like I should not be able to use that much RL19 in that case with out having trouble. I worked my loads up very slowly and when I got what I thought were sings of pressure I backed off a little. The performance of the round at 400yards I felt was outstanding.
