[QUOTE="JD Jones, post: 2581930, member: 120849"] Range report 20220723 Temps: 85* Wind: zero Ten round ladder Peterson Virgin brass, neck tension set with .283 mandrel, chamfered and de-burred Powder charge: RL26 @ 61.2-63 grains in .2 increments. Projectile: Berger 168 vld hunting Primer: CCI BR2 COAL 3.330 CBTO 2.535 61.2 - 2947 61.4 - 2969 61.6 - 2989 61.8 - 3023 62 - 3012 62.2 - 3012 62.4 - 3020 62.6 - 3030 62.8 - 3037 63 - 3079 slight ejector mark I was very impressed (shocked) at the velocities I was seeing today. Other than the 63gr load there seems to be no pressure signs. These charges are what I got speaking with Berger. Looks like at max I was ~120 fps faster which seems very high to me considering I’m also shooting a barrel 22” v. Their 24” test barrel. I’m gonna play with that 61.9-62.3 range next [/QUOTE]
