[QUOTE="aroshtr, post: 410595, member: 9176"] Thanks for the replies guys! Roy: I understand that the 24" barrel is SERIOUSLY hadicapping a case this big. It was advertized and supposed to be 26", and after getting the rifle, my friend measured it and it was only 24. He got a great deal, and not worth the hassle of sending it back so here we are. MN Hunter: I agree with you totally about the 102grns of powder. The guy sent about 20 loaded rounds that are obviously compressed, and we are thinking of pulling the bullets instead of shooting them. JD: Those are some pretty impressive velocities! I think at this point we will try the 250grn SMK, and do some load/velocity testing with H1000, and retumbo first since I already have them. I would much rather use the H "extreme" powders rather than the IMR for the temp stability. I will post back after we work up some loads and get a little data. aroshtr [/QUOTE]
