[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 646181, member: 12469"] This reply is a late one but better late then never. Final load I have worked up is a follows: 180 SMK's seated to 5 thou of the lands 97gr. US869 fedral215 gold primers Velocity 3236 at 4800' elevation ES in the high single digits never over 18fps. 1/2 inch groups at a hundred yards. I have taken a elk in Wyoming at 400 yards with it so far. My longest shots to date are at 1500 yards. It groups very well at long distances. I have found that the brass has to be annealed after 2 reloads to bring the neck tension back to spec. The Norma brass is holding up well as I am on the 5th reload on this bunch of brass. This rig is a blast to shoot. [/QUOTE]
