[QUOTE="Apnea, post: 1876409, member: 113595"] Here's my first batch of hand loads. Wondering if I can speed this bullet up a little or if those more experienced would advise staying where I'm at. Carefully looked and no pressure signs. I only loaded 5 and shot at 100 yards, but can place paper to 600 yards for more testing. Berger 144 VLDH 1x fired Norma CCI 200 H4350 43.0gr CBTO is in garage but these are about 80 thousandths off the lands (magazine limited). 24" 8 twist Kreiger with min spec SAAMI chamber Temp: 73 F DA: 6255 ft Avg MV: 2781 fps SD: 6 ES: 18 Group under 0.5", which is about as good as I can shoot. If I didn't know the velocity I'd be done, but feel like a but more might give better performance 400-1k yards. Breaking above 2800 fps just seems tempting but not sure if worth chasing a number, or if even practical. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
