Load/velocities please?

You Sir have some fine irons!
Thanks, I have been getting some nice rifles put together by a couple of really good Gunsmiths.

This rifle is throated for the Berger 195 EOL, that is all I have shot. The initial developed load was Berger 195 gr EOL @3,033 fps using H1000, CCI 250's, this is a conservative load based on all I have read. The barrel has increased in speed and is now right around 3,070 fps. This was my first custom and being a beginner to reloading at the time I did not bump the shoulders back when reloading. There are right at 61 reloaded rounds that are tight when chambering, there are another 40 rounds loaded with virgin Nosler brass. The rounds that have not had the shoulder bumped were definitely higher in velocity.
Pictured below are the initial 100 rounds from Copper Creek which have been reloaded twice (61 rounds remain) and 50 (35 loaded, 15 once fired) additional rounds loaded to the Copper Creek recipe.

Reduced, let's get this thing down the road. This thing will be ready to hunt in 5 rounds, I changed scope rings from the original Seekins to the current Hawkins Precision, so it will need a new 200 yard zero.
