[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 926086, member: 10429"] I'm very close to freebird loads as well. I been doing a ladder test at 600 yards to try and find my best seating depth for my bullet (210 VLD's)...My gun seem to prefer about .070 off the lans. I was shooting 91.5 grains of retumbo in all my test. The best 3 shot group was .07 and .09 off the lans with an ES of 18 fps. Avg., speed was 3015fps at this seating depth (0.070 off lans). I would like to get the speed up a little but probably wont go much past 92 grains as it seem my rifle start to open up the groups when driving it harder. When I bought the rifle I was hoping for 3100 with the 210's but if groups not there then your just burning powder and barrel life. If I can get the groups down it much easier to kill something shooting 1/4 or 1/2 moa gun than shooting a 2moa gun.:cool: [/QUOTE]
