[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1197836, member: 67706"] Loaded up 165 Matrix and 170 Berger today over 72 grains of RL 33 to see what a little compression would do with this combo and it was pretty impressive. To start my range day I got all set up and realized I forgot my bipod at home so had to make due with some makeshift rests. Set the target up at 100 and strapped on the Magneto. Keep in mind this rifle has a long throat. I was wanting to shoot this at a higher temperature to see if even that would pressure out and was not able to at 70 degrees and 27.2 inHg. The 165 group was not great, but neither was my rests, and ended about 1.7" three shot group. The impressive part is there was no pressure signs and the speeds were great! The 170 group was much better with the first shot being .7" high of the next 2 that went in the same hole! 165 170 3134 3115 3153 3105 3158 3112 Next time hopefully i'll remember my bipod and get some better groups out of it.
