[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2027572, member: 11101"] Yes but with a few caveats. You have to load slowly (fill the case slowly) due to the kernel size, it has a tenancy bridge if dumped in. I used a drop tube and had no issues, weighing the charges out on a Chargemaster. Shooting the Berger 195g EOL bullet, the sweet spot seems to be 3225 fps in my gun after doing some load development. Last 4 rounds I checked for fps while I was zeroing at 300 yds were 3225, 3219, 3220 and 3222 fps. It shot good, I did a crappy job of reading the wind. @ 300 yds vertical dispersion c-c was 1/4", horizontal dispersion was 3/4" c-c. 2 bullets went through the same hole or I completely missed the 2' x 4' target, which I doubt.... LOL I wanted to use a slower powder than the RL-33 that I was using, hopefully to get more fps from the gun. I liked using WC-872, that is until I found out how temp sensitive I found it to be. I gained roughly 150 fps over the RL-33 that I was using. [/QUOTE]
