[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1727776, member: 110518"] I was at the range last week and shot my Bergara b-14 HMR looking for a good load using Hornady 143 ELD-X bullets and H4350 powder. I shot one 5 shot group each of 38.5, 39.0, 39.5 and 40.0 gr. It wasn't too much of a test because I only shot at 100 yards. All but one group (38.5) was well under an inch. The best at .86" at 40 gr. I was not experiencing any pressure and 43.5 gr is the max book listing. I loaded up 10 rounds each of 41, 42 and 43 gr and going to shoot them at 200 yards to give me a better idea as to how they perform. With this rifle I think it will shoot just about anything under an inch at 100 yards. I drove to the range on Friday to try and shoot but there was about a 30 mph crosswind. Not indicative to good load testing. Today was rain all day. Maybe tomorrow will work out. [/QUOTE]
