[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1736686, member: 87243"] One thing I noticed specifically about these 128 Badlands, and I have HEARD that some of the bullets won't reach the velocity potential for comparable lead core bullets. I was only able to reach about 3250 before max pressure with several different powders and a 24" factory Ruger barrel with a .270 Sherman chamber, which should have been able to push these around 3400+ fps. I will say it was super easy to get an accurate load. Just loaded .025" off and loaded a little under max and they printed 6 shots in a .4" group at 100 yards with the factory Ruger barrel in an unbedded factory wood stock. A little tuning to the stock, a good pillar bed job, and maybe a little load work no telling how good they would do. [/QUOTE]
