[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1104072, member: 13833"] Finally got back out today after a few days off. I wanted to see what the 180 Hybrids would do with RL26 since the velocities with the 168's was so impressive. I loaded up 4 rounds each of 59 and 61.5 grains at a coal of 2.930". I was guessing this at about .005" off the lands? Trying to shoot groups has been very difficult as I am shooting prone off the desert sand and getting a ton of mirage in this heat! Anyway, with the first loads with the 180's and no developement, I am feeling pretty good about the possibilities. What was frustrating was the fact that the first 5 groups that I shot, the first 2 shots were touching and the third was always off a bit. It could be that this little #4 barrel is having a heating affect? Here are a couple of pics of the 2 180 loads tested. [ATTACH]50319.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]50320.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
