[QUOTE="freeflight, post: 775478, member: 46089"] Hi there, When breaking in the barrel, I found a load with NCC 140gr, 451.gr H4831SC, sub 0.5MOA, 2716 fps, STD 9 fps, ES 22 fps. But NCC 140gr has a lower BC than I like. My goal is have a load for one thousand yard or further. So I continued to search for a high BC, high velocity, low ES load. I started with A-max 140gr 0.01" off the land, H4831SC, 210M, new Remington brass. The best load I found so far is 46.8gr H4831SC, compressed powder. 5 shots group is about 0.563-0.627MOA. Velocity 2833fps, STD 14fps, ES 37 fps. There is definitely room for improvement. What bothers me most is first three shots usually group about 0.2MOA, the next two shots open the group up. I would also like to reduce the ES. They are fired in about 2 minutes. There isn't much room in the case to increase the charge. Any suggestion to fine tune the load is appreciated.
