[QUOTE="martinakl, post: 2320551, member: 74115"] I'll try and get some updates and pictures up. I'm right at 120 rounds down the barrel, so I feel the real load development can begin. Work and life just gets in the way. So far, I've put: [LIST] [*]215 Hybrids w/ H1000 (see page 3) [*]205 Elite Hunters w/ H1000 (see page 3) [*]230 Hybrid OTM's w/ H1000, N568, and Ramshot LRT [/LIST] I've identified some good velocity nodes with all of the above combo's and just need to get back out and do some final testing. I'd say the the 230's and N568 would be the easy button. If I can just keep the nut behind the trigger in check, easily going to 1/2 MOA or better. H1000 and N568 are showing velocity and accuracy nodes at near the exact same FPS (around 2750). The N568 takes a few more grains of powder to get the same FPS but it's proving to be the most accurate in early testing. Ramshot LRT gets the 230's moving. It adds about 100 FPS over the other two powders. I'll be investigating a load that was about 2850 FPS I have about 750 more 230 OTM's, so I believe that will be my main focus until I can procure some 205's and 215's. Since hunting season is upon us, I've been sharing the 205's and 215's with those in need, so I don't have a good enough stash right now to go much further with either. [/QUOTE]
