[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1168198, member: 59915"] I need to correct some posts of mine from way back regarding the speed and load I was using. I had reported that my 140 VLD Berbers chronoed 3150 average over 7 or 8 shots. Maybe 10. Can't remember with a 52.7 grain charge of H4831 sc. Well I just recently found out that the scale I was using, although it is pretty consistent, it is not accurate. It weighs each load consistently and I get good accurate loads on paper ( groups on target I'm talking), but recently I bought a new scale and found while cross reference weighing charges that the old scale consistently shows less than the new scale. I trust the new scale more as it is a lot nicer scale. I have not cross weighed a 52.7 grain charge (from old scale) to see what the actual weight is but I'm guessing it it was more like 53.2 -53.4 grains. Which is a pretty darn hot load. Maybe that had something to do with the speed difference we noticed. On a second note here. Has anyone tried the 143 ELD X in there LRH yet??? I bought some. Loaded the first test shots today. May get to shoot them later. [/QUOTE]
