[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1917362, member: 36999"] Did some testing with the new 153.5 Berger’s, went from 56gr to 57.5gr H1000 before I started getting ejector marks. 56 - 2834 fps es-13. sd-6.3 56.3 - 2847 fps es-19. sd-8 56.6 - 2844 fps es-24. sd-10 - 0.30 MOA 56.9 - 2878 fps es-34. sd-15.5 57.2 - 2878 fps es-17. sd-7.4 - 0.48 MOA 57.5 - 2916 fps es-29. sd-14.5 57.5 was my stopping point as it was the charge that got me just under 2980 fps with the 147gr ELD-M and it gave me ejector marks with the 153.5s. Barrel is a 24” Proof CF Pre-fit, COAL was 2.95 and I was using CCI 200 primers. I got some RL-26 and learned that with the Berger’s I can seat them to 3.04” which is long enough to alleviate the feeding issues I had with the 147gr ELD-M in my LA AICS mags so that will be my next test next week.
