[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1784334, member: 34818"] An update on my load development with177 Gr hammer hunters and RL26. Went well this morning. I took notice of my small Ladder test last time and noticed that there was a lull in velocity increase from 63.5-64 gr so I loaded up 3 rounds each of 63.3, 63.5, 63.7 and 63.9. Bullets were seated at .020” off the rifling. 7mm Sherman Max ADG brass (fireformed and annealed) CCI large rifle magnum primer 177 Gr hammer hunter All loads were shot at 400 yards and all were sub MOA but 63.9 Gr really shined at 1/4 MOA. I didn’t have a chrono with me this time but from previous testing it is right around 3040 FPS. I will load 5-10 rounds at 63.9 Gr and test it out at 800 yards with a labradar and see how it goes. Pictures are below. [ATTACH=full]164252[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164253[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164254[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164255[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
