    I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that load. Damned respectable 10 shot group!

          Nice shooting mc--- you are at the low end of a ladder type test. You can go up a bit- I stopped @ 33.1 -only because it worked , and I got sidetracked. 34.4 with a sim pill--Gmx 95.

          Jasmith and a few of us were working on the LeHighs at same time,,,, I tweaked a many down in wts. too,. Sent them to Joe for pressure checks. Some to ROS for gel tests too.

          Nice bullet., price is nice- I use them for starts for my Gmx- saves me a few bucks per year. Pressure spikes a bit earlier is all to watch for,,,, maybe .3 less in the powder charge as compared to the Gmx-- which spikes about .1-.2 less than std. copper coated stuff.

          Do the learning curve like I did. Don't just act like a millennial------- ask for answers or a big Whhaaa!!!!!----- get out there and figure it out

            There is data for it in Volume II, 2nd Print we just put out.

            From an 18", max load of 34.8gr was 2790.

            Work up in .3gr increments from 30gr.

            2667fps has got to be a longer barrel with 30.5gr. From a 24", you can get 2921-2970fps with a 95gr CC using CFE223.

                    i have the spinta 20" SS in one of my 6.5s and for the last few years it has been a very accurate shooter even with wolf steel.

                    haven't tried any 95s though. looks good though!!

                      30 gr of Benchmark usually get's me around 2900 fps out of 95 gr pill's and a 20" Saturn'Liberty Barrel

                        Madd, Nice! I'm to try a new batch of Benchmark. I know I tried them with RL 7. I'll check notes .


                        To the OP. I have found accurate loads about 2 grains under the max loads - when I first loaded the Grrr. Only downside- gun would not cycle always, and where I hunt- I want reliability!

                        A few have done the same , with lesser charges-same results.

                        Cool in a bolt gun tho. Make a low recoil rifle for wife- teens, etc. Granny still shooting? Grampa?

                              I assume this is 1.16 MOA. Great group.
                              I tried to upload photos as well and finally had to guess to downsize them. The upload program does not give you any indication why it is failing to upload.
