[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 2279200, member: 39303"] Rifle: Custom Remington 700 LA Bartlein #3 24" 1-8 Twist SAAMI Chambered McMillan Gamestalker Edge Fill Trggertech Special set just under 2lbs Snowy Mountain Rifle Co BDL Bottom Metal Glass Bedding All work done by Snowy Mtn Rifle Co out of Hamilton, MT. Components: Virgin Nosler 280 AI Brass Winchester Large Rifle Primers 169gr Hammer Hunter Powder: H1000 Starting Charge: 57.0gr Max Charge: 62.1gr OAL 3.450" I just got everything put together last night and made my maiden voyage with the rifle this morning. I cleaned the barrel with Hoppes to remove anything that might be in there from the build process. The first shot (fouler) was directly below the bullseye so I figured with my remaining 11 shots I'd see how the Hammers would group. I think this is indicative of good things to come. Velocity: 57.0gr-------> 2698 57.5gr-------> 2708 58.0gr-------> 2727 58.5gr-------> 2759 59.0gr-------> 2761 59.5gr-------> 2804 60.0gr-------> 2818 60.5gr-------> 2841 61.0gr-------> 2839 61.5gr-------> 2870 61.8gr-------> 2905 62.1gr-------> 2904 Notes: For 168gr projectiles Hodgdon Powders lists 57.8gr of H1000 as a minimum charge. They list 61.5gr as a compressed Maximum Charge. With my combination I immediately noticed a very faint ejector mark at 57.5gr (below published minimum). At 62.1gr the slight ejector mark turned into the slightest of ejector swipes (see brass pic below). Bolt lift still felt easy through all charge weights. The impact not included in the group was the fouler down a brand new bore. [/QUOTE]
