I tested increasing charges of AR-Comp and XBR with the 123 ELD.
I also tested a couple of the loads I’d seen mentioned. I’m going to load more around the sweet spot. The bullet wanted to be going 2,475 fps yesterday. It was 55 degrees at the range.

130 Gamechanger
Not a 129 hornady, but found an initial starting point for zeroing the 130 sierra TGK (gamechanger)

The TGK 130 is one I want to try.
Think I'm gonna try BL-C2 and H4895 with the 130 gamechangers and 129 ABLR

I have been experimenting with 130 grain ELDs and found a winner I think.
18 inch Larue UU
26.9 Grains 8208 XBR
130 ELD
Wischester SRP
Hornady Brass
Mag length
60 degrees Fahrenheit
300' elevation
Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph G2 10 feet from muzzle.
10 shot AVG MV: 2278 fps
with an SD of 4.
Sub-moa 5 shot groups at 100 yards. Haven't pushed it farther yet on paper.
Load gets a little crunchy when Seating but nothing crazy. I actually went all the way up to 27.2 and can't see any pressure signs

fdbyrne78, did you get a reamer for your barrel? If you did, I would like to rent it. I have a 22" and a 18" Saturn barrels that need reaming. Thanks..Ken
