[QUOTE="SuperBruce, post: 2346556, member: 120544"] Thanks for the info, +/-1 0.005 seems workable. The adjustment isn't the big thing I'm worried about (as you note it's just a click or two away) but the energy and impact velocity. The extra BC may make the difference between an effective/ethical elk rifle at 500 yards vs 600 yards. My hunting range starts at 5500 ft and is more typically 7000+ ft so that certainly helps stretch things out. I'm able to get the 151 AH to 3020 fps with TAC before hitting any signs of pressure but the accuracy and velocity consistency isn't there at top speeds so I backed down to 2930 fps. There is at least one report of getting the 152 running to 3040 fps using TAC out of a 22" barrel with good accuracy so there is a reasonable chance I find a good load that is the same speed or only a touch slower with 152 hunters. [S]Odds are I'll buy some and if I do I'll make sure to report back.[/S] Ordered. [/QUOTE]
