[QUOTE="winks, post: 751892, member: 37036"] Im using 400 grain moly coated lehigh projectiles and couldnt find any data so i had to go through the expense of load n fire through chronograph. I just started 3 weeks ago and my tightest group so far is one and five eights inches at 400 yards thats what im zeroed at. I wanted to use 50 bmg powder and did till i had a super compressed load at 150 grains and was getting an average of 2900 fps with no pressure signs at all. I went to the next available powder which is retumbo and im at 139 grains with a bit of crater on the primer, thats where the one and five eights group came in. Im still playing with the load but my shoulder has taken an *** whooping so im gonna lay off for a couple days. My rifle was built locally by a good friend of mine, its a stiller action with a 1-13 lilja barrel and a jewel trigger, i think i will try a 1-14 next time. Thanks wink [/QUOTE]
