[QUOTE="Tx1021, post: 1319813, member: 80404"] I know this thread is kind of old but FINALLY got around to doing some load development. It's a factory barreled action with nothing done to it besides an initial cleaning, sitting in an XLR Carbon with a Bushnell LRTS. Been slowly working up to find pressure since there wasn't much info on it. Anyways shot 10 separate 3 round groups at 200 today, I know 5 is better and 10 even more so but just working on load development right now... Over the 10 groups the best was .25 MOA and the worst was 1.05 MOA, with an average of all the groups at .57 MOA. Cartridge specs: 225gn Hornady ELD-M Nosler Virgin Brass, neck sized only CCI 250 Primer COAL: 3.670" Very very slight pressure signs with 75.5 grains of RL26 at a velocity of 2904 FPS, SD of 8. No pressure signs reached with H1000 yet but have worked up to 77.5 grains at a velocity of 2826 FPS, SD of 3. These loads are well above book max for most of the heavy 30 cal bullets so if you're using the new ELD-M start low and work up. Hopefully this info helps someone.
