[QUOTE="DesertBoy, post: 2880299, member: 119013"] Was able to test run a couple of powders with the 135 Bergers. They all shoot into tiny groups, and here some results. •74gr RL33 max load. 3150fps. •65gr H1000 max load 3102fps. •68gr RL25 max load 3126fps. I only got about 45fps gain going up 2 grains from 66gr to 68gr. Maybe a tad to fast burning for that particular load? I don’t know •66.5gr N570 3090fps, haven’t hit pressure yet. Gun seems to really like this speed/powder combo, but I will probably try to see if I can get a tad bit more and keep the accuracy. Once it cools down I will take some of these old out to about 900yds and see how they act. Was hoping for a little more speed, but at least it’s shooting well. My 9 year old son is very comfortable behind it as well.[ATTACH]485345[/ATTACH][ATTACH]485346[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
