[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2571512, member: 59647"] Did some testing of the 151 Cayuga this morning at 600 yards. First up was 69.0 grains of H1000, seated at 3.100 OAL. This load is consistently in the 3045 to 3050 fps range. [ATTACH type="full" alt="91EF0C4F-4EAA-46E4-977A-097302E97242.jpeg"]378055[/ATTACH] Thought I’d try the RL23 again in tighter increments. Same seating depth. 64.0- 3079 fps 64.3 - 3085 fps 64.6 - 3098 fps 64.9 - 3115 fps 65.2 - 3120 fps 65.5 - 3138 fps. I‘ve got shiny ejector marks (but no denting) on all of them, bolt lift is normal.I shot these 6 rounds (below) at 600 yards, nice group while looking for a node, wish I knew what order they were in….. [ATTACH type="full" alt="6EC574E6-1B47-4E24-92A5-6351F3F31C02.jpeg"]378061[/ATTACH] Here’s the brass from the 65.5 grain load, ejector mark is on the M in Sherman: [ATTACH type="full" alt="D3CB62DE-AE5D-44B5-A819-CBAC3464DA41.jpeg"]378065[/ATTACH] Looks like there’s a couple potential nodes between 64.0 and 64.3, and between 64.9 and 65.2. Would you chase the extra 30 to 70 fps of velocity with RL23 or stick with the H1000? Not sure how RL23 stacks up for temp sensitivity… I did continue pushing the RL23 up to 67.0, which maxed out at 3216 fps, still normal bolt lift, but the groups opened up quite a bit. The stated G7 bc of 0.310 for the 151 Cayuga appears to be right on, I plugged it into Strelock with my LabRadar velocity and it was right on for elevation with 29.7 clicks at 600 yards. [/QUOTE]
