[QUOTE="KMG, post: 1081846, member: 41928"] Yes, I got it up & running last fall. I decided to just load my brass so then I could fireform the cases & break in the barrel at the same time. I loaded 129 Interlock's, 142 SMK's, 160 Matrix's. I used 4831sc, H1000, & RL33. I had 25 Rem & 50 Norma cases. I was to say the least IMPRESSED. Everything shot less than 1moa & had some groups in the .3's. I ran the 160 matrix up to 67gr of RL33 & 2.945 coal @ 3186'. This still wasn't an excessively hot load by any means a slightly flattened primer & stiff bolt lift, but I called it Max. I backed off two grains to 65 for my next outing & called it good. Yep, 3100' & in the .3s, done. The real shocker thus far as loads is 57gr 4831sc & 129 Hornady Interlocks, real mild load @ 3060' but for some reason they just shoot great in the .2s. Had a golfball sized group on steel @ 540yds for six shots on my last outing. Go figure a flat based soft point with a canelure?? Up next are the 140 Hybrids & RL33. I also picked up some HexBN to possibly try with the 160's.. [/QUOTE]
