[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 2972746, member: 67706"] I loaded up 5 rounds at 78.7 grains of rl 26 with the 252 CEB MTH Max and took it to 1010 yards on a 1 moa sized rock. That rock took 3 rounds which removed some large chunks from it. It was gusty so I'm hoping to try again on a calmer day. I was very happy with the bullet and the load. After that I did bite the bullet and ordered the 225 CEB Lazer Gen 2 and 250 CEB Lazer Max because I can't leave well enough alone. I found out the hard way that Cutting Edge doesn't recommend seaters that have a sliding sleeve which my Redding comp seater does. It has not been a problem for me until I tried the 225 Lazer which gets stuck in the seater. It hadn't been a problem for me with the others because they were the Max ( single feed) that have a longer sleeker nose profile. I was able to run a short pressure test with the 250 Lazer with Rl 26. I virtually mirrored the speeds of the 252 which only surprised me because the Lazer has a much longer bearing surface that I thought would slow it down more than it did. I had my first pressure signs at 81 grains and 2977 fps. This was only 1 grain less than I ran up to with the 252 MTH. A new seater should be delivered tomorrow so I can seat the 225 and see what speeds I can reach. I think I am going to have to drop down to a faster burn rate powder that the Rl 26 for this weight bullet. I may give Rl 23 a try but not hopeful that I'll be able to get enough in with it being so much less dense than 26. Hybrid 100v will be my runner up if 23 will not work. Once I get a handle on the lazers I'm going to move onto finding a cheaper practice load with 250 smk. 225 Lazer is not seated far enough but is close enough for the picture next to the 250 Lazer. [ATTACH type="full"]520665[/ATTACH] And just for fun a 250 Lazer next to my 221 fireball with a 40 grain v max. [ATTACH type="full"]520666[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
