[QUOTE="Larry Morris, post: 65096, member: 249"] Quick Update: I haven't given up YET! Reed, you were right. Bullets are coming apart if I load over 48.0 gr. R22 (Non-Moly coated) - velocity unknown. I'm not able to chronograh anything late in the evening when winds are calm. Pic is at higher load. I'm not sure if the 1:8 twist will stabalize anthing over 80 ???? Goodgrouper, you were right about the primer pockets. They got loose after 6 reloads - virgin Lapua Brass. I'm not giving up until I wear it out. Talked to Dan Lilja and he thinks that I should drop down to the 69 gr. Sierra. I got the 80 gr. (they look good) Wildcat Bullets from Richard Graves this morning and have some loaded at 49.5, 50.0 and 50.5 Reloader 22. Will shoot them this evening if the wind (it never blows in Oklahoma) dies down before the sun goes down. I want to moly coat them but I don't think that I will be giving them a fair chance if I do. Pics of targets from last two evenings.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Thanks for all the suggestions and I will post results on the Wildcat Bullets just in case anyone else wants to shoot this round. Note: The second pic has one bullet that made it to the target and one bullet that came apart, made two holes and it was shot at 20 yards - others would not reach 100 yard target. Larry [/QUOTE]
