[QUOTE="Zac Bishop, post: 1657872, member: 110336"] Hey guys, I’m going to dig up this old thread as I’ve been researching this combination for a little while now. I’m hoping maybe two years later there is some more first hand experience and maybe some pet loads for the 195 EOL’s in a long action 7 saum. I have a Tikka action mated to a Proof 25.5” 1:8 barrel that I started out on a diet of 180 ELD-M’s in front of 65 grains of H1000 and a COL of 3.105” and that gives me 2956 fps at the muzzle and averages 1/3 MOA at 300 yards. Furthest I’ve taken it is out to 1305 yards. I bought the 195’s because they’re just so **** appealing and I’ve worked up some test loads starting at 62gr and going up by .5 grain increments with H1000 to 66 grains. I have the bullets seated at 3.205” and that’s boat tail slightly above the base of the case neck. I have about the same volume in the case as with my 180’s so that’s why I took the powder charge up so high. I haven’t fired them yet but I’m hoping I can get these to run 2900 fps or higher... Am I crazy? Has anyone done something similar to this? [/QUOTE]
