[QUOTE="7stw, post: 1833605, member: 22854"] Guys, had a little range time today, temp was about 35degrees, no wind. New Lapua brass, 45.2, and 45.7 grains of StaBall6.5, and 168 smk. Used 215GMM as a trial. Decent groups, under an inch. First shots, in a hole. Third one, I pulled. Knew it when I pulled it!&#/^^^! Also, with same powder, shot 150 smk, also decent group. All loads were middle of the road, no pressure at all. Shot a total of twelve, with virgin brass, and StaBall. Loads all look promising, all need to come up in powder. Used same charge, and CCI BR2, on another group, with 150smk, nice group, yup, pulled the third one. Finally, got a decent mid range charge group with 150AB, this time using RL17, 44.6 grains. First two, same hole. All groups fired, except for one, were under an inch. Need to revisit most, or up the charge, as Ive got headroom on all. Rifle has 87 rounds through it, barrel cleans easy. Bottom line, it seems to like 150AB, and RL17. Just hsve to fine tune it. Pleased with StaBall so far. Used mid range loads, and virgin brass today, so wasn't expect to set records today no how. But this rig will shoot! It's all good. [/QUOTE]
