[QUOTE="vernw, post: 2013656, member: 101443"] An update — ran into other issues (scope gave out) so only got to fire 3 rds light crimp, none with heavy crimp, and 3 uncrimped with .002” neck tension. Loads are in Lapua brass, CCI MR, H-1000, Barnes 265 gr LRX-BT. Results from LabRadar: Lightly crimped: 2752 fps, ES 17, SD 8.7 No crimp, .002” neck tension: 2757 fps, ES 7, SD 3.7 Barnes’s max load yields 2772 fps, so still below that and no pressure signs. Doesn’t look like much diff, between the two loads, but the CCI’s are working MUCH better than the GM215Ms for this load. I think either one will work fine on Indiana whitetails under 500 yards (the max range on the bean field I’ll be watching opening day) [/QUOTE]
