[QUOTE="trout004, post: 2455660, member: 119527"] Hey, thanks for the all of the help everyone. For what it's worth, I went out and shot the new ADG brass with the 208 ELD-M's last night. It was 15 degrees with no wind. I was the only one dumb enough to head to the shooting range, except for a mountain lion that came through earlier in the day. :) I am posting a photo of the target showing charge weight of N565 and velocity data that I captured and some photos of the brass. This gives me a good starting point. All brass was just neck-sized only out of the box from ADG and trimmed at 2.610" to even it all up. As you can see, load #6 load looks like a decent start, but I am probably going to base my load development between that 73.4 - 74.2 grain mark. The #6 load was getting a little hot and starting to shine up the brass a bit. I don't want to push it to the max as there is no need IMO. For what it's worth, this rifle has always seemed to group best in that 2930 fps mark regardless of the bullet choice. I know that these are 2-shot groups, but at least it gives me a point to start. I figured shooting two was better than just shooting once although I was mainly checking the brass for pressure signs. *This worked well for me, but could be different for you. Safe shooting out there, guys and gals. Now I gotta check out that GRT!
