Covid ruined all matches this year. I tried alot of powders cfe gave me 2475 fps but groups were not for me. I am also not a big fan of ball powder. I chose h4895 with 27 gr Im getting 2420 fps with a ragged hole. I feel it will be good . Theirs people not getting that in a tcu. This is rifle , so it is 500 meters. Being a AAA hunter class shooter I realy cant loose a ram. I feel the 147 is a great ram bullet , seems less pressure and more smack than any other Ive tried
Not sure of the size yall shoot at but the life sized ram plates we have are 1/2 thick and my cz grendel with its 129 ablr handloads has no issue knocking them down at 600 yards.
