[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 1629768, member: 106919"] So just ran it at 400 (414 to be exact). It’s not a range and involves me busting some brush and hiking in a little way. I guess I never mentioned anything about the gun but it is a custom off a PTG Rem 700 LA that they trued up. Added a manners EH1, trigger tech, HS bottom metal, Bartlein 2B stainless fluted, topped with a Leopold VX5 HD. This is a hunting gun that has already seen the back of a truck and 4 wheeler rack and I just picked it last December. Back to the shooting. I also had my notes mixed up and the slower load was not my 57 grn load at 3060, it was 57.5 grn. Checked my notes and I guess I was mistaken. So that adds a little more speed to it (3120s). I was shooting from a rock across a canyon so not the stablest but pretty stable. The slower load ended up coming in at 2.8”. 2 shots didn’t pick up on the LabRadar but first was 3120 and last 3130. The faster load all picked up but wasn’t great (ES22, SD 9.0) average 3207 group was just at 4”. I’m going with the 57.5 grn 3100 and some change load. I’ll keep screwing with it little changes trying to bring it in but that will do pretty good right now as a hunting rifle. [/QUOTE]
