[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2690371, member: 73596"] 12-18-22 Update- BONUS CONTENT ALERT! I titled this update "HAPPY CAMPER"! I finally got enough of my other chores done where I could pick this back up and final tune the load. I went back to the range and loaded with the components that looked to be top performers in the development: Petersen neck turned brass CCI BR2 primers RL 26 Powder 88 grain Hammer Hunter Results: Final load velocity is 3616 fps ES over 10 shot string is 13 fps Group size is just over 1/2 MOA. When I run the numbers on downrange performance, it carries 1800 FPS to 875 yds. It carries 1000 lbs of energy to 625 yds. and with a 100 yard zero is only 5.25 MOA dial up at 500 yds. These numbers make me a Happy Camper! Bonus content: Just for Giggles, I loaded up a few rounds using the 110 Hornady A-tip after hearing how well they performed on game. On the first string I shot, I got 3461 FPS, ES of 10, and sub 1/2 MOA group. The down range numbers on this load are more impressive, to me, than the load above. It carries 1800 FPS to 1175 Yds, it carries 1000 lbs of energy out to 1000 yds, and is also only 5.25MOA of dial at 500 yds. Also a 10 mph full value wind only drifts this bullet 1.8 MOA at 500 yds. My biggest problem now is deciding which I will load, which is especially difficult now as the last part (bonus on the bonus). Both of these loads shoot to the exact same zero at 100 yds...... It's like a fairy tale! Couldn't be happier! [/QUOTE]
