[QUOTE="Marble, post: 981824, member: 51354"] So yesterday I went and shot a new load of 48 grains of IMR 4350 and it was clocking right around 3100 with a 140 AB. This is the AI. And it shot tremendously better than my other load. I shot both back to back and the load with 44g of RL 15 was very inconsistent. It did get slightly warm and hot out and I suspect the warmer cartridges may have been part of the problem. But the 4350 had an ES of about 20 fps. So I'm going to load up a bit more, some slightly hotter, some a little less potent. I'll then dicker around with the seating depth a bit. I am limited with my depth as it is an A-bolt and the mag limits me. We shot my son's 7-08 in the youth version (he's 12 and still rather slight). I made him practice for about an hour with my 10/22 first. It's scoped with a nice Volquartsen barrel/trigger combo. I wanted him to work on trigger pull which is his nemesis. At 12 he just wants to shoot. It doesn't matter what it is, which I get. But I want him to develop good shooting skills. He did very well! We were shooting 49 grains of IMR 4350 behind a 120 Nosler. About inch groups. We then switched to a new Remington bullet my dad and it was horrible. But the shiny penny was the 150g Scirocco. It was a somewhat weak load at 43 grains of 4350, but printed near .5 groups. So we will be working on that one also. It was just an experiment since I shoot those in my 7mag. We will be working with this one a little bit more. This made me very happy. I have killed lots of animals with the 150.Scirocco bullet and found it to be a great performer for shooting and it's terminal performance have been great. I'm surprised it's not more popular with other shooters. [/QUOTE]
