[QUOTE="bitbythebug, post: 1193108, member: 90401"] Went to the hills today to sight in and tried to beat the wind but failed at that but did kinda sight the new gun in and attached the Magneto Speed to see how the loads were perorming. I was shooting the 195 Berger in R-P 8mm mag cases with cci primers and 77 grains of RL 25 loaded to 3.82 coal. It was to windy to tell how accurate the load was but it showed very little pressure and averaged 3088 fps. I just finished 15 loaded identical except upped the RL 25 to 77.5 and will wait for some calm weather here in eastern Idaho mid-week to see how accurate this load is. However I only have 25 rounds down the new barrel so it probably won't get real accurate till the barrell "coppers up" a little. Very encouraged so far. My friend took his Sako 75 in STW out with me and it performed very well with 175 Nosler long range accubonds averaging 3212 and very little pressure signs using 7828ssc. We were at 6500 feet elevation. The wind was howling but both loads seemed to be very accurate but don't know for sure yet. Our other range came out of winter wildlife closure yesterday and it is great to 300 yards protected from the wind so I will get up there this week. [/QUOTE]
