[QUOTE="billigoat, post: 1329707, member: 28356"] I loaded some test rounds with R-23, from 50 grains to 58 in .5 increments. I started seeing pressure signs at 56 and stopped. So I loaded the rest of the rounds for fire forming with 54 grains and went back to the range. Luckily it's only a 5 minute drive to where I can shoot out to 1500 yards. [ATTACH=full]78289[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]78290[/ATTACH] As you can see it's monsoon season in south east Arizona and the wind picked up so I just moved to the bottom of the canyon where it's protected from most of the wind and continued firing. This is fire form/ barrel break in so there was a lot of breaks between shots. I had 6 rounds left from the evening before so I went back the next day to fire them off. It was starting to rain so I set a target out at 100 yards, got all six rounds fired in less than 30 seconds and here is the group. [ATTACH=full]78291[/ATTACH] My initial impression is that Kevin Cram at Montour County Rifles really knows how to build a rifle. I will post the results of a ladder test with the Hornady 143 ELD-X's when I get it done. [/QUOTE]
