[QUOTE="SilverbulletMAG, post: 1830203, member: 108181"] This particular rifle is consistently 100-150fps slower than any published data I should be getting with a particular powder/bullet combo. It's just really slow and doesn't like being pushed hard or accuracy quickly falls apart. Even with 140 pills, it likes to be under 2600fps. There were several combo's with 150 grain bullets where I was getting mid 2500fps and the published data says I should be well over 2600fps for example. So with that as reference, my speeds (while still being accurate) have been very impressive using Staball with the 150 ELDX/ABLR bullets. Using Lapua brass, at 46.6 grains and seated pretty long (2.235" BTO) I am getting a 5 shot average of 2704fps with a nice broad flat spot from 46.5-46.8, all with an SD of 10 or less and no pressure. Accuracy is half-MOA and there is room to tighten that up further playing with seating depth. I will say though, outside of that flat spot from 46.5-46.8, the ES and SD were pretty bad but almost everything was at least MOA. [/QUOTE]
