[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 1960139, member: 74276"] Decided to tempt fate with a new load in my Mark V... My previous go to was 73gr of RL19 behind a 93gr Hammer Hunter for a COAL of 3.205” cooking along at 3793fps, which stacked 3 rounds under half an inch at 100 yards consistently from prone over my pack. I got to thinking how easy those Hammers were to load and that maybe I could get away with loading them further out to increase powder space. I’ll need to do a little more testing cuz I ran of powder after loading up 5 rounds, but I made it out to fire 3 of them tonight and couldn’t be happier! COAL: 3.34” Velocity: 3995fps avg with 2fps spread Group: .603” edge to esge Gonna buy another pound of this stuff and see if it’s as good as it feels. 22-250 speeds with a deer and black bear loading is nuts!
