[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1446302, member: 87243"] I was meaning to update this thread, and since you posted I was reminded of it. I wanted to test some more with new brass, I got some Peterson small rifle primer brass, and loaded up 5 each of 49.5 grains Reloder 26 under the 147 eld-m seated .010" off the lands, and tried Federal match srp, CCI 450 srp magnum, and finally CCI BR-4 srp match. The Federals had an e.s. of 24 fps, averaging 3050 fps, the CCI 450's had an e.s. of 21 fps, with average velocity of 3070. Then I tried the BR-4's....e.s. of 9 fps with s.d. of 3.8 fps, and averaged 3040 fps. Also, the 5 shot group was .380" if you take out one that I knowingly pulled. If you leave it, the group was .650". So....I may be revisiting the 147 w/reloder 26 combo, at least until Berger releases the 156 EOL to try out. Legionnaire, keep in mind, don't start at this load, I have worked it up in my rifle with my brass and my lot of powder. AFTER your brass is formed, I would start around 47 grains and work up until you know your rifle better. Also, I use a 6" powder trickler to aid in case fill. [/QUOTE]
