[QUOTE="nbowlin, post: 1670157, member: 39335"] H1000 was dismissed due to it being erratic with pressure. I believe it was case fill issue. Unless it’s in the trigger action section there is no stock to barrel contact. The lrab 142 sucked right up at distance in direct proportion to its 100yd. A .3 group with a crap 30fps es was out there two close and a wanderer 3/3.5”. Just couldn’t get the speed and the spread to acceptable levels. I just don’t think the 147, 175, and 180 want to Go fast. I called Hornady on the 180’s and asked if it was a bullet jacket, twist rate, speed type issue and got a canned answer about Creedmoors doing amazing. But that what 25-2700fps. Not 32-3400fps. Also for what it’s worth. There was concern as to the lrab not staying together close at speed. It was shot through a piece of concrete house siding in front of three water filled bleach bottle at 100yds....So 3190 or some fps. Made through all of them and was dug out of the ground behind a perfect little mushroom. I was surprised and impressed. [/QUOTE]
