[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1638998, member: 33159"] Go with your H1000 load. An ES under 30 is good to go. I’d play with primers and see if it makes a difference. BR2’s and 210M’s are always good. Always try for single digit ES, but sometimes you just can’t get it. I’m loading for my new 28” Krieger barrel. Thought I was done, and wanted to rezero at 200 yards and see how it grouped at 300. Well, I must of hit the break in spot of around 100 rounds down the barrel, because everything was now over pressure. I pulled out my Magnetto Speed and found the 4 different loads were running 60-80 fps faster than before. Luckily 3 of the 4 were pretty quick to fix. Plugged in the new velocities into QuickLoad and had a pretty good idea what to drop the charges to. The only one that was still having issues was my Retumbo/Lapua brass/140 gr VLD. I switched to RL 23 and problem was solved. I have an ES of 4. Now I’ve got to tweak the seating depth to dial it in and snug up the group. H4831, RL 23&26, and Retumbo have been the main powders I’ve used in my Norma. I torched my last barrel because I loved shooting it too much. Below is a photo of the load using the 124 gr Hammer Hunter and RL23. [/QUOTE]
